Welcome to our new parish blog! Each week a member of the parish will be sharing a reflection with the community as we walk our faith journeys together. We hope that through sharing ourselves, our thoughts, our prayers and our feelings with you that we might grow together in the love of Jesus and His Church. Thanks for reading and we hope you join us each week. New reflections will be posted every Thursday.

A prophet is not welcome in his hometown
As the Mom of three children, I
have often said that I have enjoyed my children at each age and stage of their
lives. Every stage has challenges and
blessings and I continue to see that in our family’s current stage. My children are 9, 12, and 13 and I call it a
sweet spot. They are independent, free
from nap time and diapers, but still not driving and spending large amounts of
time away from my husband and I. I know the clock is ticking and although I am
sure that I will enjoy the next stage as well, I worry about launching these
three into the world out of the cocoon of our home and where they will need to
make decisions on their own. Will they
live as we have taught them? Will love
conquer all? Have I loved them well
enough and given them the tools to prosper in the world?
