The apostles gathered together with Jesus and reported all

they had done and taught. He said to them, "Come away by

yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while." So they went

off in the boat by themselves to a deserted place. - Mk 6:30-

disaster.

casas de bambú para adaptarse a los constantement crecientes

Relief Services, funcionarios de Lawa y la diócesis de Malolos

National NFP Awareness Week—July19-July25, 2015. All

Natural! Natural Family Planning Good for the body.

Great for the soul! - “Celebrate and reverence God’s

vision of human sexuality.” Natural Family Planning (NFP)

methods represent authentic family planning. NFP can be

used to both achieve and to postpone a pregnancy and

makes use of periodic abstinence from sexual intercourse

based upon the observation of the woman’s natural signs

of fertilitiy, in order to space births or to limit the

number of children when there is a serious reason to do

so...this practice fosters in couples an attitude of respect

and wonder in the face of human life, which is sacred. It

also fosters profound respect for one’s spouse, which is

necessary for ...authentic intimacy. (Marriage: Love and

Life in the Divine Plan, U.S. Conference of Catholic

Bishops, 2009, p.20)

Come and support your Altar and Rosary Society’s Religious Article Cabinet in the Parish Hall. They have wonderful gifts for your special someone.

*** Bingo is played the first and third Saturdays of each month at the Knight’s of Columbus Hall. ***

Please do not forget your donations to St. Joseph’s Helpers. They are in need of bottles, baby ointment, towels and washcloths. ***
