COMPENDIUM OF THE CATECHISM OF THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH
Part I- The Profession of Faith
Section One: “I Believe”- We Believe
1.What is the plan of God for man? God, infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life. In the fullness of time, God the Father sent his Son as the Re-deemer and Saviour of mankind, fallen into sin, thus calling all into his Church and, through the work of the Holy Spirit, making them adopted children and heirs of his eternal hap-piness.
Chapter One- Man’s Capacity for God
2. Why does man have a desire for God? God himself, in creating man in his own image, has written upon his heart the desire to see him. Even if this desire is often ignored, God never ceases to draw man to himself because only in God will he find and live the fullness of truth and happiness for which he never stops searching. By nature and by voca-tion, therefore, man is a religious being, capable of entering into communion with God. This intimate and vital bond with God confers on man his fundamental dignity.
3. How is it possible to know God with only the light of human reason? Starting from creation, that is from the world and from the human person, through reason alone one can know God with certainty as the origin and end of the universe, as the highest good and as infinite truth and beauty.
Please Pray For Healing of our Sick Parishioners

FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE-Are these present in your mar-riage? Have you given up hope that they can be? Living in a marriage that is missing love can be difficult.

This is an international Christian-based ministry that offers a three-stage program to help couples improve their marriages. First, a weekend program is attended, followed by post-weekend meetings. Finally, an on-going monthly small group of couples gather for support and growth. If im-proving your marriage is important to you, reach out to-day.
