Few people regret not being more busy or successful at the end of life. Instead, they regret not spending more time with the people they love. Even more so, people regret not having spent more time and effort on their spiritual lives, the one thing that endures.

I will take the opportunity of this Gospel to write on what annulments are and are not in the Catholic Church. It is not the same as a Divorce. This Sunday, we are reading from Mark’s Gospel. When the same conversation is had in Matthew’s Gospel, the qualification “unless the marriage is unlawful” is added:

Sacrament formation, CCD, Religious Education, OCIA, Adult Formation, Family Formation, and Confirmation are all kicking off next month and have various dates scheduled.

This is a trial, and so it will most likely change over time. The Youth Group is unchanged, except for eating with the rest of the Parish at the potluck on the first Tuesday of every month. OCIA will now be meeting on Tuesday evenings ...

As we gear up for Holy Week, let's remember to embrace the symbols and practices available to us in the Catholic Church. We light different numbers of candles and sing different parts during Mass, and receiving both the Precious Host and Precious Blood can add more meaning to the symbolism of the Mass. Let's cherish the rich history and treasury of worship and communion with God that the Catholic Faith offers us.

Is Siant Pius bringing the Chalice back?

Throughout the Old Testament, we read stories of how God corrected and punished His people: the great flood of Noah, the slaughtering of the prophets of Baal, the command to kill Isaac in sacrifice, the taking of the land of the Canaanites, the plagues of Egypt, et cetera. With naïveté …

Remembering that Lent is a time of increasing your prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, I hope you take advantage of our many opportunities at Saint Pius this Lent.
