For approximately 2000 years, people have turned to the Catholic Church to enrich their lives. Through the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation), Jesus Christ offers an everlasting life- a life beyond this one. Join us and begin your journey through the Order of Christian Initiation (OCIA). The initiation journey is for adults and children (7 to 17 years old) seeking to join the Catholic Church through the Sacraments of Initiation or to complete their Christian initiation through the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation.
This month, we invite our members to explore our resources, including prayers and reflections, pastoral webinars, Catholic teaching, resources for a Mass for Suicide Healing and Remembrance, and support for those grieving the loss of a loved one to suicide.
Thank you for supporting our parish's mission and ministries. In August, our average weekly collection was $21,700. You also generously donated to various important causes through our August special collections, totaling $27,610 or $5,522 per week. This brings our weekly August total to $27,222. We budgeted our Sunday Offertory income (less special collections) thus far (9 weeks x $25,000) at $225,000, and we received $195,000 (-$30,000).
You are invited to the 7th season of Spiritual Companions. Please join us on Saturdays from 9:30-10:30 a.m. in St Nicholas Hall, from Sept 12 through Dec 5. We will be reading with Magnifica Humanitas, the First Encyclical Letter of Pope Leo XIV. Next we will read The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence (a text Pope Leo has identified as influential in shaping his spiritual life).
