FAMILY PERSPECTIVES - Jesus sends us all to the mission fields this week. That is, where we live, work and play. Families are the Church of the Home and it is the daily activities of families where disciples are formed; where others observe and judge us as being Christians or not. To paraphrase the Gospel: “Don’t just stand there staring into space, get busy being witnesses to J4esus in your home, workplace and community!”

NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING - This is not your mother’s Rhythm Method.

Come and hear for yourself on Sunday, June 3, at St. Joseph Parish in Avon Lake. Child care available…call Susan at 930-2524.

STATE BUDGET ACTION ALERT FROM THE DIOCESAN SOCIAL ACTION OFFICE - Please call your senator and tell him/her to restore Medicaid for working parents from 90% of the Federal Poverty Line to 100%. Healthy parents help keep their children healthy and in school. Having healthy children means these parents stay working and attain economic stability. Over 25,000 working parents lost coverage when this eligibility was cut in the 2006-2007 budget. It is a matter of restoring previous levels that are important. Our state senator is Robert F. Spada -614-466-8056.

 

PRO-LIFE CORNER - As you get into the second trimester, if we remove the pregnancy using forceps, and if a heartbeat is the measure of being alive, that happens all the time.
