Special Announcements
We are called to live our faith in all aspects of our lives, but – when it comes to voting – this can be difficult. During this election season, immerse yourself in the Church’s teaching and gain a fuller understanding of the Church’s commitment to a consistent ethic of life which guides us to be advocates for a variety of issues related to life and human dignity. Of course, not every issue is morally equivalent, nor can commitment to one issue excuse indifference to the rest. We will not be telling you for whom or what to vote. Rather, to inform your vote we encourage discernment, prayer, and a universal call to holiness and compassion.

New Confession Translation
The International Commission for English in the Liturgy (ICEL) has published a new translation of the rite for the sacrament of confession. This follows the updated translation of the Mass back in 2011, as well as new versions of the books for baptism and marriage that we've seen in recent years. The new translation will be implemented in two stages: priests can start using it optionally on Ash Wednesday (2/22), and it MUST be used starting Divine Mercy Sunday (4/16). In our family of parishes, the priests will begin using the new translation on Ash Wednesday, but if you go to another priest or another parish for confession, you might hear the old one until Divine Mercy Sunday.
