THIS Weekend, we welcome our Sue Lamanna, Facilitator of our Bereavement Support Group, to break open our Scriptures reflecting on God’s invitation to each of us to participate in the eternal banquet of God’s Kingdom. Sue shares the following for our prayerful response to the Scripture:

 Abba, Father, You have prepared me for the wedding Feast of Your Son and invited me to share in the joy of Your Kingdom. Guard me from indifference and pride. Strengthen me to live as one of Your faithful. Clothe me in the garment of grace and renew my heart with faith and charity. May my life be a grateful       response to your invitation so that I may rejoice forever at your table of love,

through Christ our Lord.  AMEN!

All are welcome! Registration is now open for this year’s Faith Formation!

Please see the Diocesan Policies regarding Political activity and candidates.

1. Pastors, Parishes, and Political Responsibility

2. Political Policy

Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship is the teaching document of the U.S. Catholic bishops on the political responsibility of Catholics. The statement helps Catholics to form their consciences, to learn about Catholic social teaching on important issues, to contribute to civil and respectful public dialogue, and to shape political choices in light of Catholic teaching.
