Faith Formation News!

May 16/17, 2020

A Christian is a disciple of the Lord who

keeps His commandments, and if not…Jesus

has said openly: he cannot be my disciple.

(Ven. Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan)

Teachers & Parents continue teaching

and catechizing your children in the

Catholic faith! As we move forward,

the hope is as we may possibly resume

in the fall, the children will proceed to

the next year’s CCD class. There are

many texts and online resources to

help you do this. If you need help

finding some, please contact your

teacher or Clare Crone.

Please consider writing a 1 or 2

paragraph REFLECTION on your own

personal experience through this

pandemic. We all have a story to

share! See bulletin for more detail.

DON’T GO BACK TO NORMAL – How

many times in the last 40+ days have

we heard ourselves or someone else

say this? This

youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v

=WXoGPof2kws is a sermon by Fr.

Jonathan Meyer from Guilford,

Indiana. After listening to this

perspective, you won’t want to go back

to normal!!! It’s all about conversion

and change!

Growing Stronger in Faith During

Trying Times Sheltering-at-home for an extended period of time can drive even the best of people to be frustrated with each other and with the present circumstances. But this time can also be experienced as one of grace. We know from Romans 8:28 that "all things work for good for those who love God." So even during (and maybe especially during), these difficult days, our Lord is calling us to draw closer to Himself. Here are some suggestions for the spiritual life of families that might be helpful.

Dear Parishioners,

If any of our parishioners who are in difficulty buying food and groceries, please
