SCRIPTURE
Leviticus 13:1-2, 44-46; I Corinthians 10:31-11:1; Mark 1:40-45.
In the responsorial psalm, we pray: "Praise the
Lord, for God is good; sing praise to our God, for the Lord is
gracious." (Psalm 147:1) The most important motive for giving is the
recognition that God is good and gracious. Giving should always be
thanksgiving. The Scriptures remind us that God loves a cheerful giver.
Welcome,
New Parishioners!
Please
register as soon as you move into our parish.
Call the Parish Office (392-8181) to receive a new member packet.

The family of Nyle Nix would like to

like to thank Eleanor Steber for the beautiful music and the St. Joe
ladies for the wonderful meal which gave us comfort. We would also
like to extend a very grateful thank you to Randy Kistler and staff

Faith is both a gift from God and a free act of the will of a
Christian. Developing an “obedience of faith” is how we, as
Christians, respond to God who first loved us.
