Pro Life Message

Some people say that the assertion, "Life begins at conception" is only a "religious belief." Yet the following quote is found in a book about how to perform abortions: "Conception is the only occasion in the whole course of events when something happens during a brief moment of time that is truly 'momentous'How different is the fetus ten minutes before parturition and ten minutes after; that is, different in a way that would affect its value?" (Second Trimester Abortion: Perspectives After a Decade of Experience, Berger et al., eds. p. 215). Priestsforlife.org

February Pope Francis Prayer Intentions

Elders. That the Church and society may respect the wisdom and experience of older people. For Evangelization Collaboration in Evangelization. That priests, religious, and lay people may work together with generosity for evangelization and respects the dignity of all peoples.

Stewardship & Development

Stewardship Thought: they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord. Luke 2:22 Do we give the Lord the first fruits of our time every week by attending Mass? Do we set an example for our children and grandchildren by attending Mass and joyously participating in the celebration of Mass each week? Parish Development Thought: Please include our parish and/or Diocese in your will. Bequests (gifts through a will) are vitally important to the future of our Church and it would make a meaningful legacy. If you want to add the Church to your existing will, the process is simple. Contact the Catholic Foundation of Eastern Montana for sample wording at 800 332-9998 or stewardship@catholicfoundationmt.org. Thank you!

Twelve Things Everyone Should Know About the Contraceptive Mandate

On July 2, 2013, the Obama Administration published a final rule mandating contraception and sterilization coverage in almost all private health plans nationwide, with an extremely narrow exemption for some religious employers. The final rule leaves earlier versions of the mandate unchanged, except that it makes minor changes in the accommodation determining how the mandate will be applied to the employees of religious organizations not eligible for the exemption. Important points to understand:

RCIA Class Schedule Catholicism for Dummies UCCB Catechism for Adults + Presentations by Daniel Morton & David Gordon February 11Chapters 13 & 14 + Study of Sin February 25Chapters 15 & 16 + Study of Sin March 11Chapters 17 & 18 + Study on Reconciliation March 25Chapter 19 +Study on Reconciliation

All participants are asked to take 1 point of interest ,to them , from each chapter for group discussion . Please look I the index of the Catechism under the heading of sin and pick a topic for discussion.

1. The mandate forces coverage of sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs and devices as well as contraception, along with counseling and education to promote them. Though commonly called the contraceptive mandate, the federal mandate also forces employers to sponsor and subsidize coverage of female sterilization. And by including all drugs approved by the FDA for use as contraceptives, the mandate includes drugs that can induce abortion such as Ella (Ulipristal), a close cousin of the abortion pill http://www.usccb.org/about/pro-life-activities/
