When you have an opportunity to defend your faith or clarify a question about your faith, do you do it? Or, do you remain silent so that others don’t think you are weird? Pray for the courage to be strong in your faith and share your witness with others. Blessings, Fr. Bob NOTE: May 17th is the last 11:15 am Mass until the third weekend of September.

Contact Stacy Hennessy at [email protected] Dates for 2015-2016 Ascension Prayer to Live a Full Life O Lord, Your Ascension into heaven marks the culmination of the Paschal Mystery, and it contains an important teaching for us. May we live life as an earthly reality and develop our human potential to the fullest. May we make use of the results of science to achieve a better life on this planet. But in our best moments we know that there must be more than all of this, a transcending Reality. As Christians, we know that this Reality is Your loving Father Who awaits us with You and the Holy Spirit. Where You have gone, we ultimately will come - if we are faithful.
