Friday Report

 

Greetings!  

 

This weekend is something of a Triple Crown of Manhood.

 

Today is the  Feast of the Sacred Heart, and what better way to honour the Son of Man than at Father Larry Richard's talk tonight,  Be A Man.

 

Real men honour their mothers, and tomorrow we honour our Blessed Mother in the  Feast of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

 

Then Sunday is Father's Day, which, while not a holy day, is an excellent opportunity to honour your father, whether he's alive or in the Lord's embrace. Remember, the Heavenly Father shows us what true Fatherhood really means.

 


Sincerely,
 
Paul Schratz
Director, Communications Office

We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your gentle care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help all of us, Holy Mother, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever. Amen.
