Welcome
Fr. Walter's Reflections,
Our Bishops' Conference has outlined A Catholic Framework for Economic Life that seeks to summarize this essential part of Church teach-ing as "principles for reflection, criteria for judgment, and directions for action." Among the key principles, these are especially appropriate for Labor Day:
- The economy exists for the person, not the person for the economy.
- A fundamental moral measure of any economy is how the poor and vulner-able are faring.
- All people have a right to life and to secure the basic necessities of life (e.g. food, clothing, shelter, education, health care, safe environment, economic security).
- All people have the right to economic initiative, to productive work, to just wages and benefit, to decent working conditions, as well as to organize and join union or other associations."
This year Labor Day is a time to look back, look around, and look ahead. It is a day to celebrate the work and the workers who are at the heart of this holiday. It is a time to recall the powerful and consistent teaching of our Church on the dignity of work and the rights of workers.
Your brother,
Fr. Walter
Make Your Dream of a Holy Land Pilgrimage Come True
Tracing the footsteps of Jesus in the Holy Land is the dream of all Christians and the spiritual experience of a lifetime. Walking where Jesus walked, where every page of the Bible comes alive, will take your personal relationship with Jesus to a new level. On a Holy Land pilgrimage you can cruise on the Sea of Galilee where Jesus calmed the storm and walked on water ... visit Tabgha, where He fed 5,000 people ... tour the Mt. of Beatitudes, the site where Jesus delivered His Sermon on the Mount ... climb the Mount of Olives and view the Old City of Jerusalem ... stroll in the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus and His disciples prayed the night before His crucifixion ... walk the Via Dolorosa to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre ... and visit Bethlehem and Nazareth, Jesus' childhood home.
