We are excited to announce a new parish initiative to help pregnant and parenting moms who are in need of help in our parish and neighborhood. Everyone in our parish community should know where to refer a pregnant woman in need.

One year ago on March 25, 2020, the Church celebrated the 25th anniversary year of the papal encyclical Evangelium vitae – aka the Gospel of Life. This document, written by Pope St John Paul II, reaffirmed the Church’s constant teaching on the value of every human life.
This anniversary year gives us a wonderful opportunity to assess and better communicate resources to pregnant moms and families in need at the local level. Our parish is joining a nationwide effort – just one year behind – from this March 25, 2021 until March 25, 2022 entitled: “Walking with Moms in Need: A Year of Service.”

We are actually the first parish in the archdiocese of Cincinnati to begin this important work for our community. We are inviting all parishioners to join us as we embark on this Year of Service. We have assembled a core team that includes representation from Mom’s Ministry, the FATHERS group, Parish Health, St Vincent de Paul Society, Christ Renews, Theology of the Body and Knights of Columbus. We will be first taking an inventory of what is available in our community so that we can be a hub of information to refer mothers to when they are in need.

As a parish, we will inventory what pregnancy resources are available in our local area, identify gaps, and make and implement plans to better serve pregnant women in our local community.

“Our goal is to move closer to the day when every pregnant mother in need knows where to turn for help and abortion is simply unthinkable.”

As a young, unmarried, pregnant woman, Mary faced many challenges when she was pregnant with Jesus. Today, mothers facing an unexpected pregnancy may have trouble recognizing the great gift that God has given them. Knowing she is not alone can allow her to open her heart to God’s plan and choose life.

Emily Helferich and Michelle Wanstrath will be co-leading this initiative along with our core team members. We will be communicating updates throughout the year and much more is to come! We currently need your prayers as we begin this work and invite each family to take a prayer card at the entrances of church to use at home throughout this year and beyond. To learn more about this nationwide project, you can visit www.walkingwithmoms.com or email us at walkingwithmoms@sainti.org

Join us as we pray the St. Joseph Novena for nine consecutive days beginning on March 10 and ending on March 19, the Feast of St. Joseph. Sign up below to receive the novena prayers in your inbox through Flocknote, or CLICK HERE if you are already a member of Flocknote.

Since its founding, the Knights of Columbus has been involved in evangelization. In 1948, the Knights started Catholic Information Service (CIS). The Catholic Information Service (CIS) develops, publishes, and distributes booklets about our faith and critical Catholic moral and doctrinal issues. CIS publications faithfully adhere to the teaching authority of the Catholic Church. These booklets are available for free download, and the contents of some exist as audio files. There are currently 106 booklets available.

Booklets can be read individually or read in a structured manner to learn more about our Catholic faith and Church teachings. CIS offers two self-study courses that include knowledge checks, for which you can sign-up at no cost. The Luke E. Hart course, named after a former Supreme Knight, is based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church and seeks to provide answers to three basic questions: What do Catholics believe? How do they worship? How should they live? Anyone. seeking a better understanding of Catholic faith and morality will find this series an essential resource. The Veritas course as the name signifies seeks to spread the truth on several topics related to the Catholic faith, as well as issues facing Catholics around the world today. This series includes guides to prayer, sacraments, life issues and provides Catholic insights on dating and thoughts on angels and the saints.

Although not part of structured courses, other booklet series address topics such as the New Evangelization. Also available are devotional booklets including guides to saying the rosary, making a good confession and praying the Divine Chaplet, which can aid Catholics in deepening their faith and prayer life. The newest series, Building the Domestic Church, is a collection of popular booklets that focus on issues of vital importance for Catholic families seeking to build up and strengthen the Church within their homes. Titles in this series include Into the Breach, St. Benedict for Busy Parents, God’s Plan for Love and Marriage, and The Good Life. God’s Way.

To access any of these free booklets or sign up of the courses visit kofc.org/cis. For more information about the Knights visit our website at lasallekofc.webstarts.com or email us at knights@sainti.org.
