St John Book (sometimes movie) Club
"Silence" is a film by Martin Scorsese and book by Shusaku Endo about 17th-century Jesuit missionaries in Japan who travel there to track down their mentor, a fellow priest.
"We all face trials that make us feel as if the world is stacked against us. We wonder whether God cares - or if God is even there at all. With unflinching honesty and insight, Endo tells a story in which two men must choose between their lives and their faith. In so many ways, "Silence" is the story of us all."
Read the book or watch the film, and join the book, sometimes movie, club on January 17th at 7:00 PM via Zoom. Contact Sheila Marty at [email protected] or Diana Grusczynski at [email protected] for the Zoom link.

This year we are joining with the school in studying the Beatitudes.
Walk humbly with God...How does this theme look in our families, school, and community? We can walk humbly with God through the beatitudes! In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught His disciples (and us) about how to be perfectly happy (Heaven with God). In other words, He taught us how, in our earthly lives, we can live out the purpose for which God made us. Jesus taught us 8 ways of living called Beatitudes, so that we can begin to be perfectly happy with God in Heaven. Each month we will focus on one beatitude and how everyday saints, like you and me, can live out this beatitude.
Beatitude of the month
Act with justice... "Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied." This blessing is for people who hunger for justice in our world. Children have a great capacity to see wrongs and often possess a simple view of complex issues. Perhaps our kids can use their creativity to solve some of the local injustices in schools and communities.
Cactus Flower
God created cacti to be able to survive months or longer without water, unlike humans who can only go without water for a few days. We not only need daily nourishment for our bodies, but also our souls. We will only be satisfied when we seek God daily for his guidance.
