Becoming a Catholic Christian Perhaps you have been sitting in the community,

worshipping with us but are not a Catholic and have been wondering how to become one.

Perhaps you have a friend or family member who has expressed an interest in the Catholic Church and you would like to help them have some of

their questions answered. Perhaps you were baptized Roman Catholic

but missed receiving the sacraments of Eucharist and / or Confirmation along the way and would

like to do so now.

Resources to Support Family Caregivers

With an exploding older population and the number of available home health workers limited, there is a

growing need to support informal family caregivers.

On Sunday, February 9th at 9:45AM in Meeting Room 1, Michael Burgess will discuss what

organizations and resources are available in our local community to assist family caregivers who are trying

to keep loved ones at home living independently. The program will focus upon non-medical services such as meals, transportation, respite support for caregivers, and grassroots activities like the village movement of

“neighbors helping neighbors.”
