Parish Register Being an active member at a Parish has many rewards such as: being eligible to sponsor a child for Baptism, receiving financial aid for Catholic Education, to be married within the parish and to prepare one's children for the Sacraments, to name a few. To be an active member is to participate in acts of stewardship and prayer throughout the Parish. All adults over the age of 21 can register and be considered members. Participating in one or more of the ministries offered by the Parish is a way in which you can share your time and talents for the greater good of the Church Community and beyond. If you are not a member, feel free to pick up a registration

form from the Rectory.

Why do we have to attend Mass every Sunday?

Throughout our two thousand years of Church history, Sunday has been set aside as "the Lord's Day," to celebrate God's greater creation of the world. According to the Catechism of the Holy Church, "The Sabbath brings everyday work to a halt and provides a respite. It is a day to protest against the servitude of the world and the wor-

ship of money" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #2172). Observing Sunday as the Lord's Day helps us to

keep our worship of God outward, visible, public, and regular. Sunday is also the day we celebrate Jesus' resurrection.

The Church instructs us to attend Mass each Sunday because that is where Jesus gives us what we need to stay strong in the world. Just as we take food into our bodies, so we take in Christ through the Eucharist. His body is real food and his blood is real drink (John 6:55-57). The resulting grace helps us to overcome our daily temptations and fulfill our responsibilities. Our faithful Com-

munion will bring us eternal life.
