Pope Francis ON CHRISTMAS DAY , AT ALL OUR MASSES
we will be giving parishioners a gift from the Cathe-dral Community the book, “The Biggest Lie in the History of Christianity” by Matthew Kelly, author and founder of Dynamic Catholic.
“Do you believe it’s possible to be happier than you have ever been? Not for fleeting moments, but consistently? Bestselling author Matthew Kelly be-lieves it is possible—and in his latest book, The Biggest Lie in the History of Christianity, he ex-plains how. Get the practical tools necessary to dis-pel the false promises the modern culture feeds you, and discover the single truth that is the key to re-gaining your fervor, bringing Christian unity, and leaving your mark on the world—and experiencing more happiness than you thought possible. This is a must-read for every Catholic in America.”
We hope this will increase your faith during the New Year.
MASS CARDS AND SPIRITUAL BOUQUETS Parishioners are welcome to come to the office to request a Mass Card or a Spiritual Bouquet. The Mass Card is a remembrance by which we offer an announced Mass for the repose of the soul of the de-ceased person or for the intentions of the living. The Spiritual Bouquet is an enrollments in which we re-member the person enrolled at Mass offered every week for both living and deceased.
