Daily Reflection
Saint of the Day
St. Lawrence
A deacon of Rome entrusted with the Church’s goods, Lawrence was ordered to hand over its treasures. He gathered the poor and the sick and presented them, saying, "these are the treasures of the Church." He was martyred for it with remarkable serenity. His courage and wit have been remembered for centuries.
“These are the treasures of the Church.”
Bible Verse of the Day
“Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me. I am the vine. You are the branches. Apart from me you can do nothing.”
John 15:4-5
III.
First Time?
You're welcome here.
Here are a few things we tell everyone before their first Sunday, so nothing feels unfamiliar.
- Can I receive Communion?
- Holy Communion is for Catholics in a state of grace who are prepared to receive it, but you are welcome to come forward with your arms crossed for a blessing, or simply stay in your pew and pray with us.
- How do I become Catholic?
- The first step towards becoming a Catholic starts with a meeting with our priest. Please call the front office or go in person to schedule a meeting.
- What should I wear?
- There is no strict dress code for attending Mass, but we encourage you to dress respectfully, as the Holy Mass is a time of sacred worship.
- I'm bringing kids.
- Please do. Little ones are always welcome. The Kenny Room, located to the right of the main entrance, is available if you fear that they will be disruptive.
