PARISH STEWARDSHIP
RENEWAL

What does it mean when we talk about“The Spirituality of Stewardship?” Find out here as Archbishop Etienne explains in his video.

Your Stewardship pledge is just one way we express our discipleship as followers of Jesus Christ. As disciples of Jesus Christ, our response to God’s abundant generosity is one of immense gratitude. Your Stewardship of Treasure renewal for the coming year supports St. Aloysius and continues the mission that defines who we are and what we do. Please return your 2023 pledge card today in the collection basket, to the parish office, through the mail or go online here to complete your pledge.

The U.S. government's bigotry toward pro-life Americans is at an all-time high.

The sudden persecution and targeting of 40 Days for Life are an attack on free speech for all Americans--including abortion supporters. We will continue to fight (and defeat) absurd laws that prevent having a pro-life opinion in public near an abortion facility.

On Tuesday's Roe Is Dead video webcast, we'll break down why 2023 will be the year of free speech.

Tune in for essential updates on:

• The DOJ's assault on the First Amendment;
• 40 Days for Life volunteer Mark Houck, whose home was raided by the FBI just days before the start of last fall's campaign;
• Our unprecedented lawsuit against an unconstitutional free-speech crackdown in New York--and why it has the potential to strike down buffer and bubble zones nationwide.

St. Joseph: Our Spiritual Father
While the Gospel has not preserved any of his words, his actions have resounded through the ages. Joseph of Nazareth stands out as the model par excellence of Christian virtue, a brilliant example of obedience to God and trust in Divine Providence. His role as protector of families in the difficulties of life and Patron of the universal Church has never been more clearly needed. Now, the Church is seeking to deepen its understanding of the Guardian of Jesus and of the Holy Family. Featuring interviews with leading experts and theologians, in addition to powerful first-hand testimonials — St. Joseph: Our Spiritual Father provides viewers with a glimpse into one of the most incredible lives in all of human history — a figure whose spiritual fatherhood remains open to all of us.

Forgiven: The Transforming Power
of Confession

Forgiven: The Transforming Power of Confession, explores the grace and healing offered in Confession and shows how this sacrament of mercy reveals the depth and bounty of God's love. By looking at God's revelation of his mercy in Scripture and making a step-by-step examination of the Rite itself, Forgiven communicates God's invitation to each one of us to come experience his indescribable love in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The season of Advent is a perfect time for spiritual renewal through encountering God’s mercy in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Presence: The Mystery of the Eucharist
Although the Eucharist appears to be simple bread and wine, it is actually the "source and summit" of the Christian life. Presence: The Mystery of the Eucharist explores the truth and beauty of Christ's real presence in the Eucharist, from its origins in Sacred Scripture, to its profound role in the life of the Church and her members. Go here to see the crescendo of the entire story of salvation.

THE SEARCH

The Search // Episode 5 // Who is Jesus? The most beautiful part of this story is this we can know God's love, personally. This is the person of Jesus. But how did this seemingly insignificant carpenter born into poverty in a dusty corner of the Roman Empire become the most pivotal figure in all of history? Christianity isn’t simply a philosophy for life – the center of Christianity is a person. We look at the life of Jesus and what he came to do. Ultimately, we need to decide if Jesus really was who he said he was. We can’t sit on the fence. Because if Jesus really was who he said he was, we need to make him the Lord of our lives, and everything changes.

The Search // Episode 6 // Am I Saved? What Jesus did for us through his life, death and resurrection was the greatest act of love in history. He saved us. He did this for each one of us. Personally. But some might feel unworthy of this gift of love. We may feel we have too much baggage. We may feel unlovable. But God didn’t come to reveal himself to us on a pedestal, he came to enter into our messy human condition. To fix us from within. To transform us from the inside out. Some might be surprised by how generous the love of God really is. We don’t deserve God’s love, but that’s the amazing reality of God’s mercy. This relationship with God isn’t all about our love for Him. It’s about His love for us that changes our lives forever.
