Call the Parish Office to register Faith Formation: Ext. 305 Catechetical instructions (1st to 8th grades) Confirmation Classes: Living in God A Pharisee, a lawyer or expert in the law, asks Jesus to identify which of the six hundred thirteen commandments is the most important, an issue that held considerable interest at the time. Jesus answer is faithful to his own Jewish faith. He endorses the summons that constitutes the Shema, the most significant prayer of the Israelite religion (see Deuteronomy 6:5). He insists that the love of God must occupy one s entire being and not be simply a superficial allegiance. He then adds a second commandment, which is said to be like the first in importance. From this proclamation flows the responsibility to love God with one s entire being and to love one s neighbor as oneself.

6 Family Connection Last week s Scripture Solution Children learn about love from real, concrete examples witnessed in family life. We can help children to love God and love their neighbors by showing everyday acts of love, generosity, and kindness our own expressions of our love for God. These acts, small and large, are the expression of what Jesus identified as the two greatest commandments: love God and love neighbor. Make a poster together as a family. Write the words Love God in the center of the poster and write the words Love Neighbor near each of the four sides of the poster. Talk about how Jesus taught us that our love for God is revealed in the love that we show to other people. On the poster, use pictures and words to show some of the ways that your family shows their love for other people A Cheerful Thanks St. Veronica Cheerleaders wish to Thank all the supporters that participated in last weekend s can drive and car wash fundraisers. Both were a rousing success. Funds help to defray costs incurred for this group and is greatly appreciated!
