• Life of St. Vincent de Paul

• Jubilee Day for Persons with Disabilities

• Living Together, The Church's Concern for Couples
  Today almost half the couples who come for marriage preparation in the Catholic Church are in a cohabiting relationship. Cohabitation, in a commonly understood sense, means living together in a sexual relationship without marriage. Over the past twenty-five years cohabitation has become a major social phenomenon affecting the institution of marriage and family life.

  Our youth are confronted with a dramatic difference about what the Church teaches and "what's happening." Parents, grandparents and godparents are also concerned about the different messages given to our youth and sometimes about "what's happening" with those they love.

  The Church in the United States is also concerned, and continues to search for the best way to help our youth enjoy a blessed and committed love in marriage. Small articles about bishops' statements periodically appear in the press. Our parish, wishing to provide our youth and those who love them with the full benefit of the Church's study and concern, recommends the following.

  • Marriage Preparation and Cohabiting Couples; An Information Report on New Realities and Pastoral Practices from the United States Catholic Conference.
  • Living Together: Questions and Answers Regarding Cohabitation and the Church's Moral Teaching by the Pennsylvania Catholic Bishops.

• Stockholm Pilgrimage

• Paris Pilgrimage
