Quotes… “Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” (Robert Brault)  2. “Every man's work, whether it be, literature or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself.”  (Samuel Butler (1835-1902) English Writer)  3. “Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time of which you have any control: now.”  (Denis Waitley, Author and Speaker)

 

Choose Life…  The life of Dr. Bernard Nathanson reminds us that change is always possible, even profound change. Science prompted him to publicly profess in 1974 that as director of “the largest abortion clinic in the Western world,” I had “in fact presided over 60,000 deaths.” He presented that reality in his film, “The Silent Scream” that captured the image of an unborn child shrinking from the surgical instruments of an abortionist, an image that Nathanson called, “the silent scream of a child threatened imminently with extinction.”

 

Sick or In The Hospital … Just a friendly reminder because of the Hospital confidentiality requirement, if anybody you know from our church family please let us know so we can be sure to visit them.

 

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.
