Happy Monday!
One of my favorite saints is St. Teresa of Avila, whose feast day we would have celebrated yesterday, but since October 15th fell on a Sunday this year, the Sunday celebration took precedence - I hope you were challenged and encouraged to respond to the Lord's invitation to His wedding feast! In honor of St. Teresa of Avila, though, I wanted to share this video on prayer and some practical tips for how to grow in a life of prayer - for as St. Teresa of Avila taught, our souls need prayer as our bodies need oxygen!

Here's What's Happening This Week:
- Please share the names of your loved ones who have passed away in our 'Book of Remembrance' so we can pray for them on All Souls' Day (Nov. 2)!
- The 40 Days for Life campaign is at the mid-point - if you haven't signed up to pray for an hour or two yet, check it out!
- Bishop Morlino's letter on Catholic Charities Sunday - look for details on how you can help serve people at the Beacon, the new homeless day shelter in our neighborhood!
