News & Events
“Do you think I have come to give you peace on Earth?
No, I tell you, but rather division.” (Luke 12:51) Living a stewardship lifestyle means stepping out of our comfort zone when needed. Many of us like to play it safe, not cause waves, stay in the middle of the road. In today’s world we are called to be informed and take a stance for life, marriage and religious liberty. KEEPING IN TOUCH: For anyone who would like to correspond with Seminarian Brian, his address is as follows: Brian Norris, St. Mary’s Seminary, 5400 Roland Ave., Baltimore, Md. 21210 or bnorris@dioceseaj.org
A BENEDICTINE FATHER OF ST. VINCENT ARCHABBEY, Latrobe, Pa., will be with us the weekend of August 24 and 25 asking for our prayers and alms for their missions in Brazil and Taiwan and for the many foreign Seminarians who study at St. Vincent and then return to ministry in their home countries.
