Deacon’s Corner
Deacon Tom
Thomas Merton, Trappist monk wrote:
“Underlying all life is the ground of doubt and self-questioning which sooner or later must bring us face to face with the ultimate meaning of our life.”
May I respond as Thomas the apostle did: “My Lord and my God!”

Children Faith Formation
Youth Faith Formation "Heaven on Earth" - We get it. Mass can
be boring, and something needs to change.
So, does the Mass need to change? Or does
our own perspective on the Mass need to
change?
Imagine a Sunday where you not only look
forward to going to Mass, but you look
forward to participating during the Mass and see it truly as Heaven on Earth.
All middle school and high school
youth in grades 6-12 are
invited to join us for "Heaven on
Earth" as we explore the Mass in
a dramatically new way to help
make worship at Mass the source
and summit that it is supposed to
be in our lives.
We meet on Sundays from
7pm -8:30pm in the Tiger Gym.

Parish Life
Grieving with Great HOPE is a five week grief support workshop in a DVD and small group discussion format. It offers a prayerful, practical and personal approach for adults who have experienced the death of a spouse, child, parent, sibling, grandchild, friend or other loved one. There are no stages to grief. We all experience loss in our unique way. It is through prayerful reflection, practical learning and personal fellowship
that we mourn. In mourning, we begin to build our bridge to a new and different life.
Upcoming Workshop dates are April 10th, April 17th, April 24th and May 2nd. 5:30pm - 7:00pm. Cost for the entire workshop cost is $20.00. Facilitated by Sister Ginny Braniff, MA and Diane Nuar, LPC. Please register by emailing Diane at [email protected]
