4 Page Four A letter from Cardinal-designate Dolan will be reaching you within the next week or so regarding the upcoming Stewardship Appeal explaining the details and importance of the Appeal to the Archdiocese of New York. We ask that you read through the enclosed material and prayerfully consider your pledge to this year s Appeal. In the next few weeks we will have more information in the bulletin regarding the Appeal. ADULT FAITH FORMATION Did you ever think if something brings us to confess our sin, we discover in that act how good we actually are! Every priest who hears confessions realizes, after a while, that he is not really hearing sins, he is hearing ideals. The sins are real. But it is impossible for someone to confess a sin as a sin unless something inside that person is better than what the action expresses. We cannot look down on anything unless something in us has risen above it... Every confession of sin is a progression and discovery of faith. When we pray Create a clean heart in me, O Lord, we realize God already has. (Father David Knight: Immersed in Christ, the Five Mysteries of Baptism ). This is an excerpt of what is shared at our Wednesday afternoon Adult Faith Formation sessions. NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING CLASS The next Natural Family Planning Classes will be held on March 2 at the Murphy Faith Formation Center.
