tradition. It is our intention to do this by actively promoting and developing the spiritual, the educational, the formational, the communal service and justice components of our parish.

Our Values Love God above all else; Love neighbor as yourself; Jesus is our Savior; All life is Sacred; We are the body of Christ

(Unity with one another).

SCRIPTURE STUDY WALKING TOWARD ETERNITY: ENGAGING THE STRUGGLES OF YOUR HEART by Jeff and Emily Cavins is the new Scripture Study for Sun-day mornings. During the month of May/June the obstacle to be addressed is ANGER. This series is designed to help you with your walk of faith more fully by encountering Christ in prayer through a DIVINE READING (Lectio Divina-of which Pope Francis has spo-ken). Some of the references from Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) for the month of May/June are: Mark 7:20-23 CCC 2302 James 1:19-21 CCC 1772-1774

Ephesians 4:26-27; 31-32 CCC 798-801 Sirach 28:1-12 CCC 736, 1832

“It is better not to allow anger, however just and reasonable, to enter at all, than to admit it in ever so slight a degree; once admitted, it will not be easily expelled, for, though at first but a small plant, it will immediately grow into a large tree.” -St. Augustine Cost: $16.00 Register: Call Cecilia Halpin 868-9480 or Clair Ivanov 865-1558

LIGHTHOUSE CATHOLIC MEDIA: This month we continue to offer The Holy Eu-charist as we celebrate the Solemnity of The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. Also, in the CD: PURE FATHERHOOD Devin Schadt shows how to become a father on earth like the Father in heaven. Again, we have a special promotion from the Augustine Institute that offers one epi-sode in the 12-part DVD SET: BELOVED: Finding Happiness in Marriage. This presentation addresses how spouse's can be a total gift of self, which is at the heart of the daily married life. Continue to watch for additional titles.

STEPHEN MINISTRY: Let Me Care for You

Those words can bring a sigh of relief to people going through difficult times in life. A Stephen Minister is willing and able to care for you by listening and being there while you work through this tough time. If this is the kind of care for you, call Desiree Alford at 615-568-3378.
