WORLD MEETING OF FAMILIES January Theme: The Meaning of Human Sexuality The tangible, earthly, corporeal world is more than inert matter or modeling clay for the human will. Creation is sacred. It has sacramental meaning. It reflects God’s glory. That includes our bodies. Our sexuality has the power to procreate, and shares in the dignity of being created in the image of God. We need to live accordingly. Sunday Offertory Collection Come and pray/sing with our wonderful Adult and Children’s Choirs. Adult Choir: 11:30 Mass on 2/1, 2/8, and 2/15. Children’s Choir: 11:30 Mass on 2/22.
