On Good Friay, the parishioners of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, participated in the Way of the Cross that was enacted on the Church grounds. The participants solemnly processed around the tree line of the property as they covered the Stations of the Cross and lived the Passion of Christ. This video is a recording of the event. WLBT did a news presentation of this event. Take a look at the 6PM broadcast and the 10PM broadcast of the event. (Requires Windows Media Player)
The display of these crosses, in our field, is a realistic, visible representation of the hourly impact abortion is having on the future generations of Americans. We hope these crosses cause people to reflect on the terrible tragedy of abortion. Look at the pictures taken during the Pro Life illuminated human rosary held on January 20th, 2010.
June 19th, 2009, began the Year for Priests, as announced by Pope Benedict XVI
(Read announcement).
This jubilee year is a wonderful opportunity to recognize and to honor all the priests in the Church,
who touch and transform our lives, who bring us Christ in the holy sacraments, and who act in His place now on this earth.
When was the last time you let the priests in your life know how much their service and sacrifice has meant to you and to your family?
On June, 29th 2009, Pope Benedict XVI issued his latest encyclical, Caritas in Veritate (Charity in Truth).
Read the
English translation
of the encyclical as released by the Vatican.
The USCCB has provided several resources about the encyclical.
