14 | 15 Living the Sacraments as Adults
We have attended our children’s, grandchildren’s, and friends’ reception of these Sacraments. Have we ever reflected on what the Church says in her own beautiful words on how we as adults should live out these Sacraments? Join us to reflect on the words of Vatican II, the Catechism, and the Scripture on living these Sacraments in our lives today. Please join us Monday, May 15 at 6pm in the parish house at St. James. | 16 Dealing with Loss
Those who have experienced the loss of a loved one often find healing and support through sharing with others who have similar experiences. Our parish is hosting a grief session on Tuesday, May 16 at 5:30pm in the parish house at St. James. Anyone is welcome to attend. For more information, contact Donna at 422-4534. | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 |
