Information on the recent decision of the Supreme Court: It defined the legal understanding of people’s “sex” across the country, to include their action or their asserted transgender status. Rather their being male or female. This was most likely an attempt to honor people’s rights, but sadly misguided. Everyone has dignity and rights given by almighty God that we must honor. We should reach out with special compassion for the marginalized and the hurting. All are welcomed here, whoever you are or whatever background. Jesus died for all and it is both the Church’s duty and the Church’s joy to help all to know and follow him. The recent Supreme Court decision can further erode how people understand the truth that we are all made male and female and in relation to one another. It undermines the truth about marriage and attacks the basis of family life.

Baby Banks coin boxes are available on your way out for the children and youth and in their CCE and CCD classes!
