As you know each year I try to write a series of bulletin articles focusing in on topic – in the past I have covered the Mass, the Nicene Creed, the Life and Teaching of St. Paul, the Sacraments. I’d like, this year, to put together a series of articles focusing in on these monthly devotions. So, each month there will be an article discussing the monthly devotion and then a couple of other articles which contain prayers and devotions that we can pray during the course of the month. I would encourage you to clip out the prayers and put them near you and use them in your daily prayer each month and by praying the monthly devotion and meditating on it, hopefully it will be a vehicle to draw us more closely to Christ and be assured that I will be praying them as well and so, together as a parish, we can keep these monthly devotions!
