This Fall we are rooting ourselves in what some have called the very heart of Jesus’ entire teaching – the Beatitudes. The Beatitudes, found in the Gospel of Matthew, are Jesus’ guide to holiness, and can be our anchor amidst all that’s going on around us. Our hope is that through focusing on the Beatitudes we can all Be the Attitude of Christ, helping us to grow in faith together.
This initiative will kick off with a parish retreat on Saturday, October 5th immediately following our 8:30 AM mass. To sign up, simply scan the QR code below, or click here to fill out our registration form!
