are taking sign-ups for staying overnight and for bringing in
supper during that week. Please continue praying for our

Promise are seeking a way of independence for themselves

move through the fears that paralyze and hinder their freedom
to be self-sustaining. Our prayers are essential to their lives.

Choir Practice: Music practice most Wednesdays, in
the church. Come in by way of the shrine door ~ follow the sidewalk to the right around the side of the
church. All are welcome to join in the leading of music ~
all voices and most instruments are welcome! We specialize in developing young cantors to lead the music at the
psalm ~ come join us!
Liturgical Tidbits: Sacraments: Baptism into the
Community Obviously, infants are in no position to
make a faith decision to accept Christ's salvation. They
cannot and do not choose to become members of the
church. Parents who present their children to be baptized, therefore, accept the responsibility for their child
to learn about God and to develop a sense of the holy
through their involvement with a faith community. The
rite of baptism makes it very clear that parents present
their children to Christ and to the church. In turn, the
church blesses the parents as the child's first Christian
teachers. In reflecting on this awesome task, parents
should remember that they have received God's special
call and God's special grace to help to form their children in the faith. The norm for baptism is to celebrate
the sacrament in the context of the Eucharist, so that the
community is present, since it is called upon to support
the parents and godparents in their duty to raise the children in their faith, and to celebrate the welcoming of a
new member of the Body of Christ.
