0820 St. Patrick 4

Congratulations: (CCC 1227) “According to the Apostle Paul, the believer enters through Baptism into communion with Christ’s death, is buried with him and rises with him….The baptized have ‘put on Christ.’ Through the Holy Spirit, Baptism is a bath that purifies, justifies, and sanctifies.” Remember to pray for our newly baptized who have entered the Body of Christ on: January 29, Gavin Alexander Devlen, son of Benjamin & Kristina (Murphy) Devlen January 29, Lillian Savanna Zada, daughter of Carlos & Andrea (Born) Zada May they grow in the love and knowledge of Christ, as members of the Catholic Church.

Youth & Young Adults Calendar Peregrine Page-Turners

The Ascension Young Adult Group have a Book Club (Peregrine Page-Turners) that will meet once a month on Wednesday. Our new book that we will be starting in the new year is Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterton. Orthodoxy (1908) is a book by G. K. Chesterton that has become a classic of Christian apologetics. In the book's preface Chesterton states the purpose is to "attempt an explanation, not of whether the Christian faith can be believed, but of how he personally has come to believe it." In it, Chesterton presents an original view of Christian religion. He sees it as the answer to natural human needs, the "answer to a riddle" in his own words, and not simply as an arbitrary truth received from somewhere outside the boundaries of human experience. The book was written when Chesterton was an Anglican. He converted to Catholicism 14 years later. Chesterton chose the title, Orthodoxy, to focus instead on the plainness of the Apostles' Creed, though he admitted the general sound of the title was "a thinnish sort of thing". For more information contact Nick Lanowich in the youth office at 626-8626 or by email: ick@stpatrickchurch.org
