From the Pastor . . .

Build your house on solid Rock. Is your spiritual house built on solid ground? Do you pray? Do you take time to serve others? Is your house “in order?” Do you take time to examine your conscience, go to confession, and receive Communion regularly? All these things “build” your spiritual house. If you want to be healthy and filled with the joy of the Lord, start building. Try to build your life one brick at a time and soon you will see your solid foundation.

God bless you,
