Virtue for the Month of August: "Fruits of the Holy Spirit" "We live our virtues in the "Fruits of the Holy Spirit" (Galatians 5:22-23).  In the Bible we read about fruits of the Holy Spirit which God wants to grow in our lives.  These fruits are self-control, faithfulness, kindness, joy, peace, love, goodness, gentleness and patience.  The fruits of the Holy Spirit, are outward signs, that the Holy Spirit lives inside us.  Mary, the Mother of Jesus lived by the fruits of the Holy Spirit and allowed the Spirit to direct her life.

Please use extra caution and drive slowly in the parking lots, especially at the archway.  Let's keep our kids safe!  Thank you, Fr. Jim.
