Archbishop Aymond will be Holy Family's guest this Tues 5/24, 7 pm, for our Confirmation. All are invited to the Mass and reception afterwards. Our shepherd places a high priority on visiting us--let's turn out in numbers to welcome and spend time with him. Note: no 5 pm Mass on that day.

Eucharistic Adoration coupled with quiet reflection time and songs of praise, led by Fr Kyle.

If you participated in this a couple of years ago, you already know it's fun! If you missed out, don't let it pass you by this time around! At this meeting Fr Kyle will introduce our book -- Father Elijah: An Apocalypse -- and we'll form our small groups. To purchase the book from a Catholic seller, visit https://www.catholiccompany.com/father-elijah-an-apocalypse/ or https://ignatius.com/father-elijah-fep/

Scripture is the living, breathing Word of God, by which He has revealed (and continues to reveal) His heart to us. There's so much, so many layers of meaning, we can never exhaust it. Reflecting and studying with a group is one way to dig a little deeper into His word. We dive a little deeper into the Sunday readings to discover what the Lord is saying to us today. The group meets in the church office, right behind the kitchen in the parish hall. Sharing is encouraged but not required. The group is growing -- join us!

Salvation is not without cost, as we saw in the last session. We were not only “bought with a price” (1 Corinthians 6:20), but we were ransomed for a purpose—communion with the Most Holy Trinity. But that communion is not merely a personal relationship between us and Jesus. Our relationship with Jesus necessarily includes a relationship with his Body, the Church. In this session, we will explore the relationship between Christ and his Church and what it means for us and our salvation.

Being a godparent is more than a cultural or symbolic role played out on the day of Baptism. Lucas Pollice dismantles the myths and answers these practical questions: What roles do godparents play on the day of Baptism? How are godparents called to impact the spiritual growth and well-being of the one being baptized? What kinds of things can godparents do for the baptized, beyond the occasional card or gift? Why doesn't the Church allow just anyone to be a godparent? How can parents discern the best godparent for their child? How do both the parents and godparents fit within the community of faith? By the end, godparents will understand the necessity and responsibilities of their role for teaching, living, and protecting the faith of the baptized.

Fr Kyle is available for Confession every Saturday, 3:30-4:30 pm. If that time isn't good for you, call the office to schedule an appointment: 839-4040.

Jesus came to earth to save us! We affirm that truth every time we say the Nicene Creed at Mass:he came down from Heaven "for our salvation." But what does that mean? In this first episode, Dr. Michael Barber explains why every Catholic should understand the importance of salvation:not just for our eternal state, but for our lives here and now. Drawing on Scripture and Tradition, he begins to discuss what it means to "be saved" and launches into the first of ten misconceptions that can lead to spiritual pitfalls:the idea that salvation is a matter of "self-help."

Holy Week is the holiest week of the year. But why do we call the entire week “holy”? Does anything important happen on the days between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday?
