Hello friends!
Thank you to all those who joined us for Rosaries Rock! It was very informational and Joe did a fantastic job! If you missed it, please check out the YouTube video below. Joe also pointed out that Bishop Barron has a great series on the Rosary so we have included that as well.
Thank You!
I am deeply grateful for all your prayers, cards, emails and well wishes for my recovery from my recent illness. I feel so blessed to have had all of you praying to our loving God for my full recovery. I am happy to say that I am doing just fine and back to work full time in the Parish. It was such a gift to know that our Parish family comes together in prayer to lift up those in need. I am grateful for all the love and support you show to your priests and seminarians. We are so honored to serve you and bring Christ to you. Before my illness, I had a vacation planned for this coming weekend. Since there will be some days off from school, I was going to take an extended weekend getaway. So, I intend to still do that and enjoy some different kind of rest and a little fun. You will have a visiting priest assisting Father Auer next weekend at the 10 a.m. and Noon Masses. Thank you again for all your love, prayers, and support.

What is Catechesis of the Good Shepherd?
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a beautiful approach to the religious formation of children. It is rooted in the Holy Bible, the liturgy of the church
and the educational principles of Maria Montessori. Children gather in an “atrium,” a room prepared for them, which contains simple yet beautiful hand-made materials they use to help them absorb the most essential proclamations of the Christian faith. You may wonder how these materials help the religious life of children. If an adult hears a beautiful passage from the bible, the adult might read it slowly again and again. He may think deeply about the words and perhaps speak to God in a thankful or hopeful prayer. A little child, too young to read, needs another way. In an atrium the child can ponder a biblical passage or a prayer from the liturgy by taking the material from that text and working with it – placing wooden figures of
sheep in the sheepfold of the Good Shepherd, setting the apostles around a Last Supper table, or preparing a small altar table with the furnishings used for the Eucharist. Singing and personal prayer are a part of every presentation to help the child praise and thank God as they simultaneously nourish and develop their relationship with Him.
