Go, therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded of you. And behold I am with you always, until the end of the age.
This is our Catholic mandate as found in Matthew 28:19-20/New American Bible.
Father John P. Lyons, Pastor

In the Chapel, Thursday, November 7's 5:30 PM service inspiration will be Understanding - the second gift of the Holy Spirit.
People sometimes have a hard time understanding (no pun intended) how it differs from wisdom. While wisdom is the desire to contemplate the things of God, understanding allows us grasp, at least in a limited way, the very essence of the truths of the Catholic Faith. Through understanding, we gain a certitude about our beliefs that moves beyond faith
The Holy Spirit’s Gift of Understanding offers insight and a penetrating intuition of the divine truths of faith, illuminating the mind, and allowing one to enter in a divine intimacy with the Lord.
