Here is the latest column by Eric Clayton, a young husband and father rooted in the spirituality of St. Ignatius, who writes occasional reflections about finding God in all things. Here are some previous columns:
- A conversation about trauma and encountering God
- Nobody Likes Traffic
- Hedgehogs are huggable
- But, what if I need you?
- Lessons from a bumpy flight
Teens, adults and young people in grades 4 and older are needed to assist with some basic tasks as we celebrate Mass: light the candles, carrying the cross in beginning and concluding Mass, extinguishing the candles and taking the chalice and plates to the sacristy after Mass.  To learn more and to volunteer, send an email to Fr. Tom.
          Of course we also continue to seek readers, welcome ministers, cantors, and livestream ministers.
