Lenten Folders
For those using the Lenten coin folders we ask that you avoid taping individual quarters. It makes them very sticky, which makes our bank very unhappy. The folders are treated especially gently to ensure nothing falls out. There is also a place on the folder for you to write in the total amount in the folder. As long as you write in the amount, there is no need to worry if a quarter or two become dislodged. As always, we thank you for your help.

“THE INDISPENSABLE MEN: PETER, PAUL AND THE MISSIONARY ADVENTURE”
Father Barron calls Peter and Paul “two indispensable men, the ones without whom the church never would have emerged and survived.” In telling each man’s story, Father Barron shows how the Holy Spirit worked through all the apostles and disciples to build the Church.
Following the trail of these apostles as they took the Gospel to the ends of the earth, Father Barron presents the foundations of the apostolic faith, particularly the revelation of Christ’s resurrection from the dead.
