America is at a historic crossroad. Secularists are trying to push God from the public Square. They reject His beneficial action upon society. But with-out God, where will our leaders get the wisdom to solve the great problems we face? We must stop the secularist advance and pray to God for help. He will hear us, if we pray through the intercession of His Blessed Mother. Join us as we Pray the Holy Rosary in the Public Square For more information contact Cindy Orillion at 334-5005

The presence of children is a gift to the Church and they are a reminder that our Parish is growing.

Please welcome them and give a smile of encouragement to their parents.

Suggestions for parents:

Relax! God put the wiggle in children; don’t feel you have to suppress it in God’s house.

Sit toward the front where it is easier for little ones to see and hear what’s going on at the altar.

Children learn liturgical behavior by copying you, so sing, pray and voice the responses.

If you have to leave Mass with your children, feel free to do so, but please come back.

Remember, the way we welcome children in church directly affects the way they respond to the Church, to God, and to one another.

PLEASE PRAY FOR A PRIEST EACH DAY Eternal Father, we lift up to

You these and all the priests of the world. Sanctify them. Heal

and guide them. Mold them into the likeness of Your Son, Jesus,

the Eternal High Priest. May their lives be pleasing to You. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
