Thank you for your generosity.

If you are sick, it is best to stay home rather than come to Mass. Illness always excuses one from

their Sunday obligation, especially in this flu season. Si usted está enfermo, es mejor quedarse en casa en lugar de venir a Misa. La enfermedad siempre excusa uno de su obligación dominical, especialmente en esta temporada

de gripe.

1. No deben asistir a la misa si tienen síntomas similares a la gripe. 2. No traigan niños enfermos a la misa o escuela. 3. Los síntomas de la gripe incluyen: Tos, fiebre, dolor de garganta, congestión nasal, escalofríos, dolor de cabeza, fatiga (a veces náuseas, vómitos y diarreas). 4. No se den la mano (saludos y el signo de la Aupaz) si tienen picazón en la garganta, resfriado, tos o está estornudando.

1. Do not come to Mass when you have flu-like symptoms. 2. Do not bring sick children to Mass, or to school. 3. Flu symptoms include: cough, fever, sore throat, stuffy nose, chills, headache and body aches, fatigue, (and sometimes nausea, vomiting and diarrhea). 4. Do not shake hands (e.g., greetings and sign of peace) if you have a scratchy throat, the "sniffles,” coughing, or sneezing.

Fr. Atan Okure introduces:

Understanding the Catholic

Teachings, and Our Faith

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Please join us every month to

renew and refresh our basic

understanding of the Catholic

teachings. Come and experience divine revela-

tions through our interaction and the power of

the word of God.

This monthly class will help us grow in our faith

and empower us in defending our Catholic

beliefs.

Date: 1st Monday of every month

March 4, 2019

Time: 6 pm – 7:30 pm

Place: Notre Dame Hall Topic: Prayer “If your prayer life is boring you’re focusing on yourself, not Jesus, not the needy….” Pope Francis

Am I Being Called to the Priesthood?

To be precise, a man only “knows” he is called when he is ordained! However, there are many positive signs that can point to a vocation, and which can help a man make the decision to enter the seminary and continue along the path towards the priesthood. Read these statements to yourself, take them to prayer, then act on what you know is right. God knows, you may be called to the priesthood!

A personal relationship with Jesus Christ is important to me.

People have told me I would make a good priest.

Going to Mass and Adoration is a very important part of my faith life.

The thought of becoming a priest keeps coming back over and over again.

I feel called to give more of myself to others.

I have a burning desire to help peo-ple get closer to Christ and to know the Truth.

If some of these statements reflect how you feel, if your heart is pounding even harder, if you sense a greater desire to find out if God is calling you to live in black and white, get in touch with the Vocations Director or our Pastor. vocations@dioceseoffresno.org Have no fear, the Lord wants only what is best for you!
