- The aim of the LIVING ROSARY is to
have all 20 decades prayed each day in our parishes for the conversion
of sinners, peace in the world, and for the intentions of the
participants and the parish community. Each group of 20 people
makes this happen with individuals praying their assigned decade
daily. We'd like to have at least 3 more participants in
order that all four mysteries will be completely prayed each
and every day. Please contact Wendy, 592-2711, or wserbonich@ctkathens.org
to sign-up or for more information.

- CTK PARISHIONERS
- We are beginning a new system for your church support, and
so you will be receiving new envelopes later this month. Please
recycle your old boxed envelopes and begin to use the new ones
right away. This system will help us in several ways: it will
be a reminder of the importance of supporting the parish on a
regular basis; you will no longer have to pick up your envelopes
at the Parish Center; the same system is being used at both STP
and CTK; we will be notified of a change of address or move out
of the area; and if your envelopes are lost, you will receive
a new set with the next mailing. Thank you for your cooperation.
CHURCH SUPPORT -
No matter which parish you attend for Mass, your church support
will be credited to the parish at which you are registered. Please
be sure to use your envelopes or make out your check to your
respective parish.

- RESPECT LIFE
The Call to Family
Every human being is intrinsically social, finding fulfillment
in relationship to God and other persons, and realizing our dignity
and rights in relationship with others, in our families and in
our communities. No relationship is more central than the family.
It is where we learn about moral principles and where we learn
to act on them. The state and all other institutions have an
obligation to respect the family and to foster and protect it,
not to undermine it.
—from the new Catechism of the Catholic Church
and the U.S. bishops’ 1991 statement, A Century of Social
Teaching.
