That our Council will be well-informed, increasingly more prayerful, and always mindful of our Order’s Principles.  We will be more involved (especially as a unit) in the apostolate of our Parish.  We will further our education and formation in the Catholic Faith and encourage others on their own Faith journeys.  Most importantly, we will be always mindful that all we do must point to Christ and the efficacy of His mission which we, not by choice, but by God’s Grace participate in through the Liturgy, especially the Mass, and all of these endeavors.  Being faithful to this mission, we will be better equipped and more effective in assisting others thus allowing God to continue to transform us and those we meet.

There are many external influences in our lives that tell us what it means to have a “good life”, a “respectable life”, a “dignified life”.  The quality of life, the worthiness of life, the dignity of life has nothing to do with age, ethnicity, social status, physical ability, medical condition, residency, or even criminal acts which may have been perpetrated.

Heavenly Father, bless
your Church with an
abundance of holy and
zealous priests,
deacons, brothers and
sisters. Give those you
have called to the
married state and those
you have chosen to live
as single persons in the
world, the special graces
that their lives require.
Form us all in the
likeness of your Son so
that in him, with him and
through him we may love
you more deeply and
serve you more faithfully,
always and everywhere.
With Mary we ask this
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

THE MASS
"By the Eucharistic
celebration we already
unite ourselves with the
heavenly liturgy and
anticipate eternal life,
when God will be all in
all." (C.C.C
.)
The celebration of Mass, as
the action of Christ and the
People of God arrayed
hierarchically, is the center of
the whole Christian life for the
Church both universal and
local, as well as for each of
the faithful individually. In it is
found the high point both of
the action by which God
sanctifies the world in Christ
and of the worship that the
human race offers to the
Father, adoring him through
Christ, the Son of God, in the
Holy Spirit. In it, moreover,
during the course of the year,
the mysteries of redemption
are recalled so as in some
way to be made present.
Furthermore, the other sacred
actions and all the activities of
the Christian life are bound up
with it, flow from it, and are
ordered to it.

Prayer for Vocations
The Catechism of the
Catholic Church
God, infinitely perfect and
blessed in himself, in a
plan of sheer goodness
freely created man to
make him share in his
own blessed life. For this
reason, at every time and
in every place, God draws
close to man. He calls
man to seek him, to know
him, to love him with all
his strength. He calls
together all men,
scattered and divided by
sin, into the unity of his
family, the Church. To
accomplish this, when the
fullness of time had come,
God sent his Son as
Redeemer and Savior. In
his Son and through him,
he invites men to become,
in the Holy Spirit, his
adopted children and
thus heirs of his blessed
life.
(C.C.C.)
Early Church Fathers
These days, there is much talk
about "the way the early Church
did it". However, just what are
people basing these claims on?
Do they really know what the
early Church Fathers taught?
Do you?
