Me and My House is a Catholic parenting program. Discover the foundation of strong families, rooted in authentic fatherhood and motherhood. Embrace your faith in a new and vibrant way which will transform and energize your family. Learn the habits which ease the burden of parenting and enter into the loving yoke of Jesus, “for My yoke is easy and My burden, light.” (Matthew 11:30)
We challenge parents to make small changes in their family which will yield great results. Your witness will guide your sons and daughters into a loving relationship with our living God. Build your unique family within the framework of our Faith. Our video guide, Patrick Sullivan, holds degrees in Literature, Education, and Theology. Mr. Sullivan gives practical advice grounded in orthodox theology. He not only travels the world teaching parenting seminars, he is the father of nine children, one of whom is praying for him in Heaven. His life experience coupled with his education means that he will be a sure guide for us in this Catholic parenting program.
We will watch and discuss these four modules over eleven weeks:

• Parenting in God’s Plan
• Habits of Parenting
• Do’s and Don’t’s of Parenting
• Raising Them in the Faith

We will forge friendships and have a bit of fun while we fine tune our parenting skills. Come join us Sunday afternoons from 3 to 4:15 PM in St. Joseph’s Hall from September 25, 2022 through December 18, 2022. If you can’t join us in person, please join us by Skype. Skype is free and easy to use. Simply click on the call link and choose “Join Class.” You can test out the call link at any time, then join in the discussion Sundays at 3 PM.

As disciples of Jesus, our hearts are meant to burn with love unceasingly. Solitude is a wonderful place to learn how to kindle this sacred Spirit-filled fire into flame. It can then become a constant source of delight. This warmth is unique and does not compare with any other stirrings the heart can experience. In the stillness of solitude, the Holy Spirit will come to us and make his home in us. Solitude delivers us into the “zone” of the Holy Spirit. Join Father Mark (virtually) on a raft for eight days as he seeks to prove the efficacy of seven principles for thriving in solitude.

Join us as we delve into the ocean of God’s love through the power of prayer.
St. Alphonsus Liguori leads us in four treatises on prayer. We will encounter the power of prayer through four Spiritual Exercises, one at the end of each treatise.

We will practice what the saint preaches in the Spiritual Exercises, with opportunities for mental prayer together, praying the rosary, and praying the Stations of the Cross. I look forward to our group discussion and encountering God with you: “where two or three are gathered, there I am in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:19)
