St. Padre Pio was born in 1887 in Pietrelcina, Italy, and was an Italian priest,  known for his charity and love for the people around him.  He bore the wounds of Christ, which is still something that cannot be explained.  In August of 1918, he began experiencing a painful stigmata that eventually remained permanent for the next 50 years and disappeared, miraculously, a few days before his death in September 1968.  St. Padre Pio welcomed the pain for all of mankind, and was canonized  on June 16, 2002 by Pope John Paul II. 

We hope you can join us in prayer each month!

Pro Life/Respect Life Ministry

Please mark your calendars and join us as we witness God’s truth and embody our Lord’s command to love one another as He loves us!  Thanks to our Pastor and the commitment and interest of so many of our parishioners, our group will meet in the St. Anthony Room of the Parish office at 7:00PM on:

Wednesday, November 13, 2019
Wednesday, December 11, 2019
(2020 dates to be determined)

On-going areas of discussion will include education, outreach, public policy and prayer, all focused on the restoration of respect for human life as an essential task of the Church.  We will work closely with our Diocesan coordinator and be a part of the work of our Diocesan Office of Human Life and Dignity.  It is our duty as Catholics to respect all human life, help promote public awareness, promote laws that defend and protect life, and endorse programs of prayer so that the culture of death will be replaced with a culture of life.  Come and join the work of this critical ministry!

Spiritual Adoption Program
November – Month 2

Your spiritually adopted baby has progressed from a single cell
to developing all of her external features and internal organs.
 Her brain is functioning at 40 days and her mother can hear her heartbeat
 now on an ultrasonic stethoscope.  Baby-teeth buds are present a little after 6 weeks
 and the central nervous system is functioning with muscles beginning their first exercises.
  From this moment, the baby grows and refines her body and everything she needs
to survive after birth is already present by the end of the eighth week.
  She is now called a “fetus” …a Latin word meaning “little one”. 
Ultrasound reveals that this little one can now
 spring, flip and jump  - the first dance steps!
