Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, | |
Welcome to August!
Here we are in the 8th month of the year, and in August we celebrate the Immaculate Heart of Mary! There are many great Saints who have their feasts this month, learn more about them here. In addition, we celebrate the Transfiguration of the Lord, The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Look for ways to celebrate the liturgical calendar with your family. Pray a rosary together, make an Immaculate Heart Cake and invite others over to eat and pray together, or read together about the life of a saint. There are so many special ways to learn about our Catholic faith and live liturgically.
If you missed the National Eucharistic Congress in July, look for the link in the Special Events Section below to watch and listen.
Please let us know how we can better serve you and your parish as we carry out our mission of evangelization to help parishes bring people to an encounter with Christ and a deeper appreciation of the Catholic faith. (Contact us at family@diocesepb.org)
May God's Mercy and Peace be with you and your family,
Cathy, Deacon Louie, Beth, Liliana, Andy,
Maria, Cindy, and Rosario
Share this email with everyone!
Together let us build, unite, and grow our Church.

Growing in holiness doesn’t require extraordinary actions, it requires doing ordinary things with great love. And there is nothing more “ordinary” in the life of a child than a parent.

What does the Immaculate Heart of Mary mean?
The Immaculate Heart of Mary signifies, first of all, the great purity and love of the heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary for God. This purity is manifested in her “Yes” to the Father at the Incarnation, Her love for, and cooperation with, the Incarnate Son in His redemptive mission, and her docility to the Holy Spirit, enabling her to remain free of the stain of personal sin throughout her life. Mary’s Immaculate Heart, therefore, points us to her profound interior life, where she experienced both joys and sorrows, yet remained faithful, as we, too, are called to do.
