Did you know?
"As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live." This quote is from Saint Pope John Paul II's homily given in Australia in November of 1986. He went on to explain "...the family is a community of life and love. It educates and leads its members to their full human maturity and it serves the good of all along the road of life The family is the "first and vital cell of society". In its own way it is a living image and historical representation of the mystery of the Church. The future of the world and of the Church, therefore, passes through the family."

You choose two offerings from the options of Eucharistic Adoration, Centering Prayer, The Rosary, The Examen, The Divine Mercy Chaplet, Lectio Divina, Vespers, Guided Meditation, and the Labyrinth.
Descriptions of the Offerings. We will conclude with a whole group experience in church.
 Yesterday was amazing! We had 800 people praying at one time in all these different ways, and Mass was also going on. Powerful! I hope you join us tonight. If that time doesn't work, and you want to stop in after school to walk the labyrinth, there are three set up in the building, one in PLC, SAH and FH-A. There are also two painted on the field outside.
Email
Angie if you are able to join us so we can be prepared to welcome you.
The labyrinth will be available to walk in Fellowship Hall through Ash Wednesday..
