Please attend Mass this weekend with your Parish Priest. "A man without self-control is like a city broken in two and left without walls." Proverbs 25
The virtue for the month of January is "self-control" (in actions and words). God has given us wonderful bodies for living and minds for learning. The Christian fruit of self-control is our ability to choose "God-pleasing" behavior over sinful and harmful actions. Theme mass: 5th grade, Friday, January 27, 8:15 A.M.
