Quotes… "My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose - somehow we win out."  (Ronald Reagan, 1911-2004, 40th President of the United States)

 

Choose Life…  One of the chief researchers in a landmark study on patients with severe brain injuries noted that these patients are diagnosed falsely “on a disturbingly regular basis.” With false diagnoses, fatal mistakes can be made as in the famous case of Terri Schiavo who was fatally deprived of food and water. Says bio-ethicist Wesley J. Smith, “What we did to Terri was a blight on the legal system and bioethics. Pretending otherwise won’t make that stain go away.” (NRL News, Feb-Mar, 2010)

 

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults… We are again asking anybody who will be interested in the Catholic Faith or if you know anybody who is interested please call the Rectory. We will be beginning our next R.C.I.A. class in late September. They will find these gatherings very enjoyable and interesting and the decision to embrace the Catholic Faith is always made by the person participating.
