Homily from 8am Mass

By Patrick | August 3, 2008

homily-from-8am-mass

Come to the water, all who are thirsty! 

Come to the water! 

Hungry, without money? No worries! Come, buy 

without cost! 

8-10 thousand strong or more (when you count women 

and children) hungering to see and hear Jesus. And he feeds 

them rather than send them to scatter back into the villages. 

Jesus feeds us. But to be fed, we have to gather ‘round. 

Jesus our Christ has to be at the center of what we are doing 

for us to be fed. 

Our God is a God of abundance. Generous abundance.

Building “Green” in the Center, The Process of Designing a New Church

By Vicki | July 31, 2008

Building “Green” in the Center

The Process of Designing a New Church

for Our Lady of the Woods

     

Speaking at World Youth Day in Sydney, Australia on Thursday, July 17, 2008 Pope Benedict XVI spoke out against global warming saying, “Perhaps reluctantly we come to acknowledge that there are also scars which mark the surface of our Earth: erosion, deforestation, the squandering of the world’s mineral and ocean resources in order to fuel an insatiable consumption.”  He went on to say that care for the environment is of “vital importance for humanity”.

GROWING CHURCH IN THE CENTER Questions and Answers

By Vicki | July 31, 2008

GROWING CHURCH IN THE CENTER

Questions and Answers

1.                  Is our new church going to look like a traditional Catholic church?

Yes. A complication here is that different individuals have different images of what “traditional” means. The latest expression of the authentic tradition of Catholic architecture is the US Bishops’ document “Built of Living Stones.” The new church will follow the directives of this document, and our bishop himself will give final approval.

2.                  Why “green architecture?” How do we know this isn’t just a current architectural fad?
