We ask this in humility, knowing Your great goodness. We beg your assistance, remembering Your words, “Ask and you shall receive.” Amen.

A friend or relative of yours dies - you want to do something to show that you care. Maybe you take food to the family; you try to say some comforting words. Flowers and plants are expensive and they die too soon. What about being a part of a perpetual Clerical Endowment Fund Card for the deceased. Give $5 and your name will be included in the memorial to the family of the deceased. That person will be remembered perpetually in the Masses of our Bishop and in the prayers of our Seminarians. That same $5 will be used to help educate our Seminarians - future priests who will serve us in this Diocese. Contact Tina Esquivel at the Parish Office for more information.

Ash Wednesday is the 22nd of February

Catholic Social Teaching Corner: Thoughts on Faithful Citizenship Week 5: Fourth Principle of Catholic Social Teaching: Option for the Poor and Vulnerable The Gospel call Christians to put the needs of the poor and vulnerable first. A common moral test of a society is how it treats those on the margins. Wherever there is structural injustice, Christians are called to oppose it. Those with the greatest need require the greatest response. Above and beyond the common good, our values call us to show special concern for the poor. In the arena of public policy, the Church’s teachings cause us to examine the affects of legislation on the most vulnerable. Our responsibility is to work for laws that would assist the poor to move out of poverty such as equal educational opportunities, just tax policies, adequate shelter, a strong economic safety net, and access to decent, affordable health care. •

Fr. Tom will be on retreat at San Juan, Texas January 25-31.
