We deeply thank Fr. Emmanuel Gutierrez who led our Lenten Day of Recollection last  February 28. We are also grateful towards our Hospitality team volunteers who prepared our lunch and our Liturgy Committee for organizing the event. 

The Bible is the written word of God. The Catholic Church also has traditions, some of these are written and some have been passed down from the Apostles. Both are honored as the Word of God. In addition, Bishops and Popes have interpreted both Scripture and traditions ensuring that the teachings are accurate and faithful to the Word of God. We have the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Within about a thousand pages, our religious beliefs from Scripture, Tradition, and Magisterium are available to all of us. 

On Monday, the 9th, we men of Cor will take a look at the Catechism and learn a little about its value. As a group, we will select parts of the Catechism for further investigation in the future. What do we believe? Do you want to learn more about our celebration of the Christian Mystery? What should our life in Christ be like? How do we pray? Would any of this help you become a better Catholic man? 

Deacon Rich has mentioned a couple of times in Cor about the Liturgy of the Hours. These are prayers all the clergy prays each day. We can make the same prayers too using an app on our phones, ibreviary. In some future meetings of Cor we will get our phones out and make those prayers as a group. We meet most Mondays in the parish center at 7:00 pm. Why not give Cor a try?

We pray for all the sick and injured in our parish community, and all those who care for them, especially for :   Arlene G, Mary Jo Parker, Lourdes Chin, Esther Chavez, Aurora Lopez, Tanya Daniels, Patrick Quispe, Kathy Wieder, Helen Konoshkonik, Marie Murray, Mary Beth Jones, Connie Feight.
