"You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength. Never forget these words which I am giving you today.  Teach them to your  children.  Speak of them at home  and when you are away, whether you are busy or at rest." (Deuteronomy 6:5-7)

3rd graders apprenticed in liturgical ministries at the 11:00 Mass on February  4.  They were readers, greeters, and singers. They shone with the light of Christ and everyone was so proud of them!  Special thanks to their catechist Melissa Varso for preparing them so well.

Watch what the letter from Pope Francis on Care for Our Common Home has to tell us:

Our CCD classes participated in a Chinese auction Sunday, March 25.  Families were asked to bring in gently used items for the children to bid on.  We raised $383 that will be donated to children's charities.

PRAYERS to Pray Together:

Hail Mary, full of grace,

Picture
the Lord is with you!
Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God,
pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son,

Picture
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven,

Picture
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done on earth
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
