We Extend A
Special
Welcome
To those who are single, married, divorced, gay, filthy rich, dirt poor
and anywhere in between.
We extend a special welcome to those with crying newborns, those as
skinny as a rail, or those who could afford to lose a few pounds.
We welcome you if you can sing like Andrea Bocelli or can’t carry a
note to save your life.
You are welcome here if you are just “browsing”, just woke up or
Just got out of jail.
We don’t’ care if you are more Catholic then the pope or haven't been
to church since little Joey’s baptism.
We extend a special welcome to whose who are over 60 but not grown
up yet, and to teenagers who are growing up way to fast.
We welcome soccer mom’s , NASCAR dads, starving artists, tree
huggers, latte sippers, vegetarians, junk food eaters.
We welcome those who are in recovery or still addicted.
We welcome you if you are having problems or down in the dumps, or
don’t like “organized” religions.
We offer a special welcome to those who think the world is flat, work
too hard, don’t work, can’t spell, or come because Grandma is in town
and wants to go to church.
We welcome those with tattoos, piercing or just plain both.
We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now
.
We welcome those who are flexible, inflexible, tolerant or intolerant.
We welcome tourist, seekers, doubts, bleeding hearts and YOU!!

but that it be a sacrifice from each person.

Marriage Moment
You are not your children! Your success as a parent does not depend on their success.
Resist the urge to take credit for your child's successes, lest you also take the blame for
their mistakes.
Father Bill is on the mend and feeling better each
day. He sounded very well on the phone. He
thanks you all for your prayers, cards and good
thoughts. He will be away from his home until the
end of March. If you care to send cards, please do
so to the address below. PS: Fergie is dog is
staying with relatives and is very comfortable and happy.

Do not let your kids pre-empt your beloved.
Our children are important and take a lot of care,
but sometimes we unnecessarily put our kids
before our spouse. Babysitters can be a gift from
God. If you aren't a parent, substitute "work" for "kids."
