As Catholics, we have a long tradition of having Masses celebrated for those we wish to offer up in prayer. The Mass is the ultimate form of prayer, and each Mass is celebrated for an intention. Please consider having Masses celebrated for family and friends on special occasions and anniversaries, as well as those who are in need of prayers. Masses are also encouraged in memory of those loved ones who have died, especially on the anniversaries of their deaths. Contact Fr. Cory for more information!

Pro-Life Quote from National Right to Life What have we done to our children by legalizing abortion and championing it? The daily abortion stories, polls, editorials, and stories showing how the abortion rights movement is faring all this has drummed into our childrens heads the idea that human life is not special, is not sanctified, is not a life formed by God but a fertilized ovum that makes demands and can be removed. (Peggy Noonan, Abortions Children, New York Times, 1/22/98.)

Stewardship Thought Stormy seas link the reading from Job and St. Marks Gospel. God speaks to Job through a storm. St. Mark retells Jesus scolding His disciples for their lack of faith after He calms the sea. In turn, they were in great awe of Jesus power over wind and sea. St. Paul teaches that in Christ, we are a new creation. As Christian stewards, we find comfort in knowing that the Lord is always there to calm the storm during challenging times and to bring peace in our lives. Development Thought Thanks be to God that he built into the human heart an innate desire to give! Each one of us can do our part, in one way or another, through the proverbial time, talent and treasure. When God touches a heart to give financially, it is wise to be sure your donation will be used for the purpose you give it. Every donor has that right, especially when giving to support the Church. When giving to our parish or to support our diocese, you can trust your intent will always be honored. And importantly, you can have the blessed assurance that it is being utilized for the highest purpose possible to help the Church actively be the Body of Christ and to build the Kingdom of God today.
