FIVE WAYS TO MAKE
YOUR PARISH A BETTER PLACE
Think of yourself as a part of
your parish family. Family members don’t always agree, but they do feel a strong
commitment to the family.
Use your gifts and talents for
the good of the parish. If you’re a singer, public speaker, musician or just a
friendly, helpful person, get involved as a lector, usher, greeter, extraordinary minister
of Holy Communion or part of the parish music ministry.
Attend parish events. Whether
it’s a mission, a lecture or lawn fete, it’s important to support the spiritual,
education and social parts of parish life. Invite family members and friends to join you!
Support your parish financially.
Parishes need your help with operational expenses, energy costs, supplies and maintenance.
Be generous.
Pray. Keep your pastor, the
parish staff and the parishioners in your daily prayers. Pray also for the return of
Catholics who have strayed from practice of their faith.

CHOOSE LIFE – On January 17, 2008, the
biotech company Stemagen announced the first cloning of human embryos by fusing donated
egg cells with DNA from skin cells from an adult man. When scientists clone human beings
for research purposes, they fail to recognize that “the artificial creation of a
human life for the soul purpose of her exploitation and destruction will always be gravely
unethical” since it “sanctions the direct and explicit exploitation of one human
being by another, in this case, the exploitation of the weak by the powerful.” Family Research Council, Stem
Cell Research, Cloning & Human Embryos.
VOCATIONS
– “May the intercession of Mary, Mother
of the Church and Mediatrix, create in the hearts and minds of young men and women in our
diocese an openness to serve Christ and his Church as priests, and women and men
religious.”
