Pro Life Message:

For Catholics, public virtue is as important as private virtue in building up the common good. In the Catholic tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue; participation in the political process is a moral obligation. Every believer is called to faithful citizenship, to become an informed, active, and responsible participant in the political process. As we said a year ago, "We encourage all citizens, particularly Catholics, to embrace their citizenship not merely as a duty and privilege, but as an opportunity [more fully] to participate in building the culture of life. Every voice matters in the public forum. Every vote counts. Every act of responsible citizenship is an exercise of significant individual power" (US Bishops: Faithful Citizenship - Civic Responsibility for a New Millennium, 1999).

You can also give online and send us your own questions that you would like answered. May God bless you richly for your support of Care and Share 2014! Twitter: @SaintMarysMalta

Stewardship & Development

"Not as man sees does God see, because man sees the appearance but the Lord looks into the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7 How often do we invest our time, talent and treasure in creating an appearance that does not matter at all to God? We strive to impress with our clothing, home, career, possessions, car and other marks of distinction. But none of these illusions of greatness will impress God. Instead, He will look into our hearts to see how much we loved Him, how much we loved others and how we showed that love by the way we used our time, talents and treasure here on earth.

Masses are also encouraged in memory of those loved ones who have died, especially on the anniversaries of their deaths. Contact Fr. Cory for more information!

A message to those of you who have requested masses to be offered at Saint Marys: Presently we are offering masses for those requested in December of 2013.

We offer this as a suggestion due to the length of time it may take to get these masses offered here at Saint Marys. Thank you for your continued support. Please contact Lana Ulrich at 654-1446 and leave a message., or send an email to lana@saintmarysmalta.org. _______________________________
