Encounter God’s love at your parish

Pope Benedict XVI said that “…being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction.”

As your children grow older, they will come to experience the love of Jesus through prayer, liturgy, the sacraments, catechesis and acts of charity. This happens first within your family, the domestic church. Faith entails an encounter with Jesus, an encounter with God’s love in your parish – through various youth retreats and school experiences that deepen their Catholic faith.

I encourage you to explore what your parish has to offer as we begin this new year, whether that is through religious education, marriage enrichment, Bible study, or extracurricular activities.
