Dear Parents,
Toward the end of this week on the 11th of July, the Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of St. Benedict. In
this article, the author encourages parents to adapt aspects of the rule of St. Benedict to Christian family life; not the entire rule of St. Benedict, just a few of his ideas. Perhaps choose one that resonates with you: the role of the abbot (parent), the need for summoning the brothers (family) for counsel, or the need for (maybe 30 seconds of) silence.
St Benedict led the monks to memorize the psalms. Learn a few key lines of a psalm by reading/reciting them each day. Try Ps 18:29, Ps 43:3, or Ps 68:20 or challenge each family member to choose a psalm that speaks to him/her. You could print them and hang on bedroom doors or over bed for ease in practicing each day.
Want to make a lasting difference in a child's life?
Be a catechist! You will be planting seeds of faith that will bear much fruit. We are still very much in need of catechists for the upcoming year. The time commitment for a catechist is from about 6:30-8:30 on Wednesdays evenings (grades 1-8), plus some time for lesson prep during the week. We will have several meetings throughout the year, and always stand ready to assist you as needed. Classes are small (less than 20) and all materials are provided for you. If you are interested in assisting with the Sunday morning Kindergarten/Preschool class (9:30-10:30), please contact Sarah Lanham (513) 470-2343. To explore the options or ask questions about the Wednesday evening classes contact Theresa Kearney or call (513) 688-3155 ext. 4 or
