 Sincere Gratitude  I am very grateful for the terrific turn-out we had for our Church Family Supper and the effort the great majority of our church family made to make this occasion a happy and blessed event. And also to our church family again for responding to our Penance Service and by making a special effort to participate in our Penance Service to prepare for the birth of Christ for Christmas.     

 

Angel Tree We wish to thank you for your heartfelt generosity for all the Angels that were placed on our Angel Tree and filled with joy.  Thank You

 

New Envelopes Sincere Gratitude to our many parishioners who support our parish and Building Fund so generously as a Church Family. The participation of all when possible is so important please pick up your new envelopes and if at all possible use them regularly. They are in alphabetical order in the entrance of the church.

Choose Life  A recent article in the Journal of Medical Ethics (March, 2012) argues for euthanasia for newborns with disabilities based on the Italian and Australian scientists’ belief that these children would have been killed before birth had the genetic disorder been identified. Citing these children as burdens to their families and society, they conclude, “Therefore, we claim that killing a newborn could be ethically permissible in all the circumstances where abortion would be.”
