Quotes by Pope Francis on the

Sanctity of Life
The right to life is the first human right. Abortion is
killing someone that cannot defend him or herself.
Cardinal Bergoglio with Rabbi Abraham Skorka in
book On Heaven and Earth

Stewardship Thoughts
January 4, 2015 - Epiphany of the Lord
"..they fell down and worshipped him. Then they
opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold,
frankincense, and myrrh..." - Matthew
2:11
Notice the order of events in the Magi's visit. First,
they knelt before Jesus and prayed to Him. Then they
presented Him with their gifts. We, too, must take
time to pray before we present our gifts to the lord.
We never know what God may be asking us to share!

Mass Intentions
As Catholics, we have a long tradition of having Masses celebrated for those we wish to offer up in prayer.
The Mass is the ultimate form of prayer, and each Mass is celebrated for an intention. We ask $10.00 per
mass intention.
Please consider having Masses celebrated for family and friends on special occasions and anniversaries, as
well as those who are in need of prayers. Masses are also encouraged in memory of those loved ones who
have died, especially on the anniversaries of their deaths. Contact Fr. Cory for more information!

S" ymbolon shows prospective Catholics and longtime Catholics not just Church teachings but the
Catholic way of life -- not just the what but the how
of the faith. Participants see how doctrines and
practices fit together and how they are meant to be
lived out in their own lives. I've never seen a faithformation program so well thought through as Symbolon."
