REFLECTION “…they took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord...”

(Luke 2:22)

How seriously do you take being a Catholic? Is “being Catholic” something I just do when I

attend Sunday Mass or attend one of my parish functions? It’s easy to be Catholic then, it’s

harder to be Catholic when I am out in the world. Would someone recognize you as a

Catholic by the way you act, dress, and talk? How do you present yourself to the Lord and to

others?

LEAVE A LEGACY: Planned giving provides an opportunity to give a gift that forever

perpetuates our Catholic faith.
