Through our natural intelligence and through Divine Revelation we become aware of the value of this most basic of all gifts which is life. The knowledge of the value of life that comes through revelation leads us to understand better this gift and to appreciate it: as a result, we worship and love more and more the Giver of the gift. This love is what moves us to protect the life of the unborn or any who might be unjustly treated. STURGEON BAY, WI.

Cold and Flu Season Due to the severity of this season s flu virus, there are people who prefer to refrain from the usual hand shake at the sign of peace. Children and elderly, along with those with diminished immune systems, need to be more cautious, so be aware that a verbal expression of peace may be the appropriate form of communication at Mass for people.
