Why do Catholics...
|
|
|
 Catholic Guilt - Good or Bad?
Have you ever felt bad for doing something wrong, and had someone tell you that you have Catholic Guilt? What is Catholic Guilt? Why is it labeled Catholic?
The phrase Catholic Guilt was coined in reference to the understanding that Catholics are held to follow lots of rules. Consequently, when a person breaks those rules they commit "sin" which separates us from God. This "sin" is strongly emphasized in regards to morality in the Catholic Church, which seems to be emphasized more than all the good we do.

Merciful like the Father
In the Year of Mercy, every Christian family can become a privileged place on this pilgrimage for experiencing the joy of forgiveness. Forgiveness is the essence of the love which can understand mistakes and mend them.

 St. Matthias Parish School Registration
More than preparing your child for success in the classroom, a Catholic education lays the foundation for a faith-filled and purposeful life. Because our Catholic faith is woven throughout every part of the school day, you can be sure that the values you teach at home are being nurtured and supported at St. Matthias Parish School.
We are currently accepting applications for the 2016-2017 school year. We do participate in the Milwaukee and Wisconsin Parental Choice Programs. Please call our school principal, Mrs. Susan Booth, for information and to schedule a tour, (414) 321-0894.

A Stewardship Prayer
for September
Loving Father:
A world made in your image and likeness
is desperate for your healing touch.
It is a place where people
do not have enough water, or enough food,
or enough medicine even though there is enough of these things in the world.
It is a realm where people hunger for freedom
and are tortured and killed for this yearning.
It is a world where there is much anger and hatred,
distrust and little peace.
We ourselves tend to avoid those we don't know,
those who don't look like us,
or think like us,
or worship like us.
And yet You call to us to be good stewards of our neighbors;
to love them as we love ourselves;
to love them with greater hearts than we can imagine.
Give us the courage we need
to be better stewards of our neighbors;
and to believe what You tell us:
that You will give us everything we need to love in Your name,
so Your healing may truly be made manifest in this world.
We pray this through Christ our Lord.
AMEN!

St. Matthias Parish is excited to participate in a new third source funding initiative. Amazon has created Smile Amazon. This is through Amazon.com and it allows the purchaser to choose a non-profit group which will receive 0.5% of all your purchases. The way this works is that you can log in to Smile Amazon
(www.smile.amazon.com) just as you would for Amazon. All your Amazon.com services, such as Prime, will carry over to Smile Amazon. You will choose your non-profit benefactor, St. Matthias Congregation. Then use Smile Amazon as you would Amazon.com. Every time you make a purchase, 0.5% of that purchase will be donated to St. Matthias Congregation.
