Religious Liberty, Marriage and Family, and Impact of Usury on the Poor and
Vulnerable. Videos available on kscathconf.org, and may be downloaded from

St. Joseph Adoration Chapel is open to all from 6 am-10 pm daily. Even though the
"official" list of open hours appears each week in the bulletin, don't feel that those are
the only times you can sign up for. It would be awesome if we had the luxury of two or
more adorers for each hour! Then partners could cover for each other as needed without
the added burden of calling around for substitutes. Think about it-Jesus is calling you by
name.

Consecration to Jesus through Mary: One couple’s
experience of the Marian Consecration to Jesus through
Mary, “33 Days to Morning Glory.” “Consecrating oneself
and one’s family may sound like a difficult thing that
requires a great level of already-attained holiness, but the
opposite is true. It is a simple journey for the simplehearted who simply wants to be holy, not for those who
already are holy. If it seems out of reach for you and the
craziness of your busy life, maybe it is exactly what the
doctor ordered, or at least the spiritual doctor. In the
craziness of life in 2014 in the United States, giving
oneself to Mary is the way to go.” Archbishop Naumann
set December 8th for the diocesan-wide consecration to
Jesus through Mary using Fr. Michael Gaitley’s book, “33
Days to Morning Glory.” Contact parish office to obtain a
copy of the book for the November 5th start of
preparation.
