BODY and BLOOD OF CHRIST

The bishops’ stewardship pastoral asks, “And what do Christians bring to the Eucharistic celebration and join there with Jesus’ offering?” The answer: “Their lives as Christian disciples; their personal vocations and the stewardship they have exercised regarding them; their individual contributions to the great work of restoring all things in Christ.”

WHAT IS A DAD?

A dad is a person who is loving and kind, and often he knows what you have on your mind.  He’s someone who listens, suggests, and defends ~ A dad can be one of your best friends! 

He’s proud of your triumphs, but when things go wrong, A dad can be patient and helpful and strong.

In all that you do, a dad’s love plays a part ~ There’s always a place for him deep in your heart ~ And each year that passes, you’re even more glad, more grateful and proud just to call him your dad!

Thank you, Dad…for listening and caring, for giving and sharing, but, especially, for just being you!

Happy Father’s Day!
