Dress and Decorum in Church Out of respect for Our Divine Lord in the tabernacle, please try to keep silence in the church as much as possible. Also, out of respect for Our Lord and for the edification of our neighbor, we ask all to appear in church modestly dressed. For example slacks, shorts, sleeveless and low-cut dresses do not meet the norm of Christian modesty for women and girls. Gentlemen also, no less than ladies, are encouraged to be generous in expressing their respect for Our Lord by dressing suitably for Holy Mass. Your cooperation is evidence of your love for the Blessed Sacrament and your respect for the House of God. __________________________ For sacramental emergencies during the week, the faithful may contact Fr. Walters at Queen of Angels Church: (405) 752-0004. Please call this same number to obtain the daily Mass schedule at Queen of Angels. During the week, Fr. Themann can be reached at St. Mary's Academy and College: (785) 437-2471.

But self-abasement gives us heart. Strange that it should be so, and yet so it is. We shall never march into any of the moral cities we may conquer with the sun shining on our unsoiled banner. We shall always go home draggled. We must also show extreme patience and goodhumored contentment with little victories and modest success. We all put an absurdly high price on ourselves. We cherish our plans until it is hard to see how God can have any glory at all outside the sphere of our influence, except in other spheres, very far away. We can only grow into men by realizing that we are not men yet.” Fr. Frederick William Faber No Adult Catechism Next Week There will be no adult catechism class next Saturday, February 18 as Father Themann will be out of town. Father Thomas Asher of St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary will return to visit St. Michael’s.
