At Blessed Sacrament Church :  Science and Our Catholic Faith: Today more than ever before, our Catholic faith is being questioned by those who see no need for religion. Science provides verifiable truths. Religion is founded upon faith which cannot be verified. Indeed, faith describes a relationship with God whom we cannot even prove exists according to empirical evidence. There are also a number of popular myths about the Church and its supposed conflict with scientific discovery. Some of these misunderstandings are the result of presuming objections raised by some Protestant traditions are shared by the Catholic Church.    Join us on Wednesday, August 21, 2019, in Blessed Sacrament Hall. We will begin promptly at 6:30pm and conclude at 8:00pm . 

Happy July Birthday to

*Father Michael's "Penny Catechism" (A fun and informative little morsel of Catholic teaching and trivia)*
Last week's question along with the answer:
 
Question #129: What is our "Easter Duty" about?
 
Answer: Canon law states; "... the faithful is obliged to receive Holy Communion at least once a year. This precept must be fulfilled during the Easter season ..." (#920 §1-2) This precept of Church law is intended to encourage those who rarely receive Holy Communion. Receiving the sacrament of penance before receiving Holy Communion is not part of the "duty" but is encouraged.

Question #130 : What is the process for one to be canonized a saint?


(The answer will appear in next week's email along with a new question)
