Resources

Check out our resources in the parish library. “At Prayer with Mother Teresa” is a collection of prayers, many written by Mother Teresa, provides insight into the spirituality of the humble Missionary of Charity but also gives inspiring guidance for your own spiritual practice.

“Why are the Dandelions Weeds?” contains stories of family life using questions children often ask that invite us to view the world through the eyes of wonder. This is a delightful book of heart-tugging stories.

On Care for Our Common Home (Laudato Si') is the new appeal from Pope Francis ad-dressed to "every person living on this planet" for an inclusive dialogue about how we are shaping the future of our plan-et. Pope Francis calls the Church and the world to acknowledge the urgency of our environmental challenges and to join him in embarking on a new path. This encyclical is written with both hope and resolve, looking to our common future with can-dor and humility.

Read the encyclical here: http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/encyclicals/documents/papa-francesco_20150524_enciclica-laudato-si.html

Join us on February 25, 2018 following the 10:00 a.m. Mass for a gathering to invite reflection on practical ways to put Pope Francis’ ideas into prac-tice. All ages welcome!

We hope you will put this date on your calendar now and plan to join us for this valuable time to show social love.
