Other Important information
Food for Thought on
Attending Mass
Ultimately we all answer for our life before God. The priest and the homily cannot be the reason you go to church or not, service requirements cannot be the reason either. The time involved shouldn't be the reason you don't go, it has to come from your own value of your relationship with Jesus and the Church He founded. We really take a look at this in our program but ultimately it's for you to consider (and I always rely on that little nudge from the Holy Spirit)

St. Augustine's Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Breathe in me O Holy Spirit that my thought may all be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy.
Dray my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy. Amen
