Faithful Citizenship Discussions
As Catholics, we bring the richness of our faith to the public square. We draw from both faith and reason as we seek to affirm the dignity of the human person and the common good of all. This October, we're hosting a series of reflection and discussion nights on different dimensions of Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, the US bishops’ teaching document on the political responsibility of Catholics, which provides guidance for all who seek to exercise their rights and duties as citizens. We hope you join us. For more information, go to stegranitecity.org/citizenship.

This Week's Picks:
- Me and My House (series) - Me & My House is a practical game plan for Catholic parents who are struggling with all the things that parents struggle with. We challenge you to do little things. To make little changes that will make a huge impact on your family. In this Catholic Parenting Program, you will discover the foundations that can strengthen your motherhood and fatherhood. You will learn the habits that can make parenting easier, and the habits that you absolutely want to avoid. In fact, we will get so practical that we'll discuss discipline and how to set boundaries, so that by the end of the program you will have a very clear sense of how you want to build your unique family culture with the children God has given you.
