Please attend Mass this weekend with your Parish Priest. "Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive." Matthew 21
The virtue for the month of September is "Faithfulness (to God and you)." Faith in Jesus is our belief that he came to die and rise to earn us a place in heaven. Faithfulness to Jesus is our eagerness to share that news, our desire to do what we promise, and our willingness to follow him.
