When the General Church and Diocesan obligations are completed the Parish retains approximately $20.00 per adult

Faithful and Friends,
Within our Holy Church the Word of God is a Sacrament. We should take time each day to hear or read and then reflect upon God’s Holy Word. Below is a daily reading chart that will cover the entire Catholic Edition of the Holy Scriptures in one year.
It is taken from the website http://readthecatholicbibleinayear.wordpress.com/
If you have not started to read your bible or if it has been awhile since you have, this Easter Season is a great time to start. If you have already read the Holy Scriptures now is perfect opportunity to do so again.
I pray that all of us will draw closer to our Lord in 2018 through our daily bible readings. For those wanting an app for their android or apple phone, please contact myself for suggestions.
The suggested bibles are: The New American Bible, Revised Standard Version-Catholic Edition, The New American Bible Revised Edition or the New Revised Standard Version- Catholic Edition.
As always, if you are in need of a bible or have questions about the readings please do not hesitate to ask myself at anytime.
