“Banish from your heart this shameful and destructive vice. Let charity reign amongst you, and do not envy one another any more. Rejoice with the joyful, and mourn with the sorrowful. Take a sincere interest in the weal or woe of your fellow man. Grant to every one the good which belongs to him, even to your enemy; and do not refuse your sympathy to any unfortunate person, not even to your enemy.”

~ St. Jean Baptiste Marie Vianney

Marriage is a Vocation, Not a Lifestyle Choice

Be Holy as the Holy Family is Holy
“You can tell the strength of a nation, by the strength of the family life in the nation.”
~ Fr. Mateo Crawley-Boevey, SS.CC.
