to know our faith and share it with others, to continue to grow spiritually with respect for the sacraments, to celebrate the liturgy and the Holy Eucharist as the center of our Christian life, to live by truth and love, to serve those in need, to teach by example, and thereby strengthen and inspire our Parish family in accordance with the Roman Catholic Church.
Reminder
Masses will be at the Chapel of St. John Nepomucene, until church renovations are completed.

RESPECT LIFE CORNER ~ Natural Family Planning (NFP) Part 2 of 3
Why NFP?
NFP honors the design of married love, which is both love-giving and life-giving. Since it respects the love and life of marriage, it can also enrich the bond between husband and wife. NFP embraces the promises a couple makes to each other on their wedding day – to be free, total, faithful, and fruitful. Working and praying together, a couple can decide if and when to have more children while preserving and respecting each other’s mutual fertility. And, what if a couple finds that they may be dealing with infertility? The QR code below explains how NFP can be a window into the actual cause of infertility and how to, ideally, repair the issue through the medical and surgical treatment of NaProTechnology so the couple can successfully conceive and carry a child.
