Principal's Corner
One of the Pastoral Council's goals within the parishes this year is to encourage and pray for the vocations of parishioners, especially younger parishioners. Please pray the prayer below with your family for an increase in vocations to the priesthood, religious life, holy matrimony, and single life.
Prayer For Vocations
Heavenly Father,
bless your Church with an abundance
of holy and zealous priests,
deacons, religious brothers and sisters.
Give those you have called to the married state
and those you have chosen to live as single persons in the world
the special graces that their lives require.
Form us all in the likeness of your Son, so that
in Him, with Him and through Him,
we may love you more deeply
and serve you more faithfully,
always and everywhere.
With Mary we ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Virtue of the Month
The Virtue of the Month of January is HUMILITY!
During the month of January, we practice the virtue of humility. Humility is the awareness that all one’s gifts come from God and having an appreciation for the gifts of others. Humility is looking honestly at your strengths and weaknesses. Humility is recognizing that we are not better than others and should treat all people with love and respect. How will you demonstrate humility today?
