We will be opening at 5:00 on Tuesday, May 9th due to a Diocesan Meeting.

Let's return to Fatima, where we started this week — but this time let's go with St. John Paul II.

Sometimes, when we are depressed, ready to give up on life, or when we lost a loved one, we often say: “Oh, God help me! Oh, God, why me?” Believe it or not, it’s on those moments that Jesus becomes the wellspring of life, and be there to heal the broken heart. In our gospel, Jesus assures us: “I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.”

We're ready to learn exactly what John Paul means by Marian consecration, or as he usually refers to it, "Marian entrustment."

We like the idea of Jesus as the Good Shepherd, but we seldom like the idea of being sheep—people who blindly follow anyone or anything. However, that’s not what sheep and shepherds are like in real life.

At Calvary, Mary suffers with Christ. Through faith, she is "perfectly united with Christ in his self-emptying."

We continue this retreat at the wedding feast of Cana, where Mary's motherly mediation gloriously shines forth.

“The Filipino Catholic Ministry will be hosting the Philippine Cultural Night on Saturday, July 22nd which would showcase our children, youth and adults with our traditional folk dances and songs. We are inviting all of you and your family to participate in our biggest fundraising event of the year which would benefit our Church and the Ministry Center. We will be in the foyer of the Church this Sunday after Masses taking participant sign-ups for children, youth and adult of all ages.” Thank you.

Like us, Mary needed to walk by faith while pondering in her heart.

Before we look to John Paul's teaching on Marian consecration, let's see what Vatican II has to say about Mary.

During this fourth and final full week, we'll be focusing on the example and words of another great teacher of Marian consecration: St. Pope John Paul II.
