Stewardship Reflections: April 22nd – 4th Sunday of Easter
When you pray, do you only ask Jesus for the things that you want?
Do you ever ask Him what He wants from you?
How do you listen for His response?
Usually, the answer is in “quiet whispers”,
so take time every day, in silence, to actively listen for His response.
“I am the good shepherd...and I lay down my life for the sheep...and they will heed my voice.” John 10:14-16
First Communion Mass Sunday April 29th at 10:30 am

Some Advantages of Full Day Kindergarten
