Stewardship & Development

January 25-26, 2014 - 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time He called them, and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed Him. Matthew 4:22 Just as He called the first apostles, Jesus calls each of us to follow Him, too. We are not expected to leave our businesses and our families behind, but we are expected to put our service to Jesus before worldly endeavors.

Longtime country music singer Kenny Rogers has a song called Water and Bridges, which highlights a father's pain after losing a child to abortion. Rogers told CNN that the song is not about him, but is "really about choices you make when you're young that you pay for when you're old." He goes on to explain, "It starts off with a young couple who have an abortion, and the guy says, 'If a father could hold his son, I could undo what's been done, but I guess everyone is living with water and bridges.'" Counseling and healing is available for any man or woman who has lost a child to abortion. See www.RachelsVineyard.org for details.

She will cover the history, science, cultural and practical implications behind the Churchs teaching on contraception and family planning. Look forward to hearing an expert in the field plus testimonials from real couples. Even if you are beyond childbearing years, educating yourself on this very controversial teaching of the Church will better equip you to field questions from those who do not understand the beauty of natural methods of planning a family.

Masses are also encouraged in memory of those loved ones who have died, especially on the anniversaries of their deaths. Contact Fr. Cory for more information!
