A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE

In today’s Gospel Phillip worried about “enough food” for the crowd. What is ENOUGH? When does our ENOUGH deprive another family of their fair share? Jesus performed today’s miracle because one child was willing to share and risk living with less. Can your family live more simply so that other families can simply live?

If you, or someone you know of is interested in the Catholic faith or Catholic who has not yet received First Holy Communion or the Sacrament of Confirmation…please call Linda Scala, Coordinator, at 949-0799. This process consists of approximately 25 sessions and is held following the homily at the 10:30 Sunday Masses from September through April. Clergy and laity serve as catechists.
