Daily Reflection
Saint of the Day
St. Francis of Assisi
Born to a wealthy cloth merchant, Francis traded a life of comfort and ambition for radical poverty after hearing Christ ask him to rebuild the Church. He embraced the poor, the sick, and even lepers, and founded an order that spread joy and simplicity across Europe. He saw all creation as a family of brothers and sisters praising God. Near the end of his life he received the wounds of Christ in his own body.
“Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance.”
Bible Verse of the Day
“My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him. He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.”
Psalm 62:1-2
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.
