Citing of the Week
"It is not uncommon for a school, parish, or even religious community to be closed and merged. What is uncommon is for the result to have more active students, attenders, or members than the previous entities had when they were separate."

Use your imagination
One of the fundamental Catholic beliefs is that God is present in every aspect of creation. This perspective has been called the “Catholic imagination” and is rooted in the teachings of Jesus. When he looked at the ordinary stuff of life—dough, coins, vines, lamps, mustard seeds—he saw how each thing revealed the loving presence of God. Catholics do the same. When we look at a person or object, we are aware that there is more than meets the eye, and that “more” is God. The essence of Catholic imagination is captured in this passage from The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: “What is essential is invisible to the eye.” Practice using your Catholic lenses today. What do you see?
