The Anointing of the Sick is available to seriously ill members

like a parish visit. Please let us know of any homebound persons
who would like Communion regularly.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a rite in the Church

like to become a Catholic, please contact the Parish Center.

Lumen fidei
th
On July 5 , Pope Francis released his first
encyclical Lumen Fidei (The Light of Faith). The
work was started by Pope Benedict and completed
by Pope Francis. For the modern Catholic Church a
Papal encyclical, in the strictest sense, is a letter,
usually treating some aspect of Catholic doctrine,
sent by the Pope and addressed either to the
Catholic bishops of a particular area or, more
normally, to the bishops of the world; however, the
form of the address can vary widely, and often
designates a wider audience. Papal encyclicals
usually take the form of a Papal brief due to their
more personal nature as opposed to the formal Papal
bull. Papal encyclicals are so famous that the term
encyclical is used almost exclusively for those sent
out by the Pope. The title of the encyclical is
usually taken from its first few words. We will be
offering highlights of the encyclical over the next
several weeks. You can find more information
about Lumen Fidei at http://lumenfidei.com.
ON FAITH IN HUMAN LIFE
The first setting in which faith enlightens the
human city is the family. I think first and foremost
of the stable union of man and woman in marriage.
This union is born of their love, as a sign and
presence of God’s own love, and of the
acknowledgment and acceptance of the goodness of
sexual differentiation, whereby spouses can become
one flesh (cf. Gen 2:24) and are enabled to give
birth to a new life, a manifestation of the Creator’s
goodness, wisdom and loving plan.

The Capuchin Franciscan Friars will be

Tonini, O.F.M. Cap. There is a plaque honoring Fr.
Michael Gori in the vestibule of our Church above
