Evangelization
"Evangelization happens when the word of Jesus speaks to people's hearts and minds. Needing no trickery or manipulation, evangelization can happen only when people accept the Gospel freely, as the 'good news' it is meant to be, because of the power of the gospel message and the accompanying grace of God."

First Saturday Rosary
The First Saturday of the month Rosary will start at 4:00 PM allowing it to be finished before the 4:30 PM Mass and still have time for quiet, personal reflection. This will be an ongoing, monthly Rosary.
Power in Prayer
Let’s make time to speak personally to Jesus. Join fellow church members each Wednesday from the comfort of your home, workplace, etc., in spending 10 minutes in prayer anytime day or evening. Enlist your family, a friend, or perhaps you prefer a quite place to meditate. Prayers can be formal or not, including singing or reading scripture. You could offer your work, a kind act, or make a sacrifice as your prayer. We are called to be a holy people (set aside for sacred use). As we focus our mind and heart on Jesus, He transforms us, re-creating us into the ones He designed us to be.
November 17th’s Intention: Intercession of the Saints
“Jesus, help me simplify my life by learning what you want me to be – and becoming that person.”
St. Therese of Lisieux
Suggested Prayer: Dearest St. Thérèse of Lisieux, you said that you would spend your time in heaven doing good on earth. Your trust in God was complete. Pray that he may increase my trust in His goodness and mercy as I ask for the following petitions: (pray for
your intentions). Pray for me that I, like you, may have great and innocent confidence in the loving promises of our God. Pray that I may live in union with God’s plan for me, and one day see the face of God whom you loved so deeply. St. Thérèse, you were faithful to God up until the moment of your death. Pray for me that I may be faithful to our loving God. May my life bring peace and love to the world through faithful endurance in love for God our Savior.
