Baby Bottles Benefiting the Women’s Centers.

We are now collecting returned Baby Bottles in the vestibule and near the church's exits to help raise funds for the Women’s Center.

This is a simple, but crucial fundraising effort for The Women’s Centers. Thank you for helping defend life, and remember to keep all pro-life undertakings in your prayers.

Catholic Core Belief About the Eucharist:

The Holy Eucharist is the "source and summit of the Christian life" (LG 11, CCC 1324). We, Catholics believe in the Real Presence.

The Holy Eucharist is not a symbol or a reminder. The Holy Eucharist is Christ truly present, his Body under the form of bread, the Blessed Sacrament, and his Blood under the form of wine, the Precious Blood. It is the "Heart of the Heart of God" (Fr. Simon referencing to "Heart tissues" in approved Eucharistic miracles). It is the sacrament in which Jesus is truly present - Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity under the appearances of bread and wine.

I once quoted the statistic that only 30% of Catholics believe in the real presence of Christ in the tabernacle. My hearer said, “Oh no, Father. 100% of Catholics believe in the real presence.” The point being made is that if you don’t believe in the real presence you aren’t a Catholic. Remember, that the word “believe” means “trust”. You may not understand how such a thing can be. You may have a thousand questions, but if you trust what Jesus said, “This is My body and this is My blood”, then you believe. - Rev. Know-it-All

Our tenth annual Patristics conference was one of the best with some amazing talks. We thank Dr. Steven C. Smith and Mr. Mike Aquilina for sharing with us.

It is a poor substitute for having been there live, but audios from the talks can be found HERE 
 

“God created us without us, but He did not want to save us without us” (CCC 1847)

Everyone has to face the particular judgement immediately after death (CCC 1021). Either a purification is necessary, or man goes directly into heavenly bliss and is allowed to see God face to face.

There is also the dreadful possibility that a person will remain opposed to God to the very end, and by definitely refusing His Love, "condemns himself immediately and forever" (CCC 1022). “God created us without us, but He did not want to save us without us” (CCC 1847). The eternity of the punishment of hell is a terrible reality, which - according to the testimony of Holy Scripture - attracts all who “die in the state of mortal sin” (CCC 1035). The Christian goes through the narrow gate, for “the gate is wide, and the way that leads to ruin is wide, and many are upon it” (Mt 7:13).
