Spirituality Commission

Rochelle Tester, Chair

 What is the general goal of spirituality?

That void causes us to crave a deeper connection with ourselves and our creator. This is what spiritual goals are for. It helps us grow and mature spiritually and build a better relationship with God and our fellows.

 “Life is a journey. When we stop things don’t go right.”

Pope Francis

Share your dreams -    Bishop Noonan gave this message “Something has to change”   If we don’t change what will happen to Catholicism.  Be evangelist by going out and sharing the word of Jesus. 

Be Inspired - These inspirational quotes provide a big picture of God's never-ending love and power, which extends far, wide, and beyond. Trusting God leads to hope, knowing that peace and joy are yet to come is inspiring. These Bible verses affirm daily renewal of his love.

A)“May God who gives endurance give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had” Romans 15:5

B)“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she laughs without fear of the future” Proverbs 31:25

C)“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing” Thessalonians 5:11

D)“Be on your guard, stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong”  Corinthians 16:13
