Celebrating the Holy Mass.

Pray in front of the blessed sacrament. Also, seek guidance from a priest you trust.

What does discipleship mean to you?  Tell us why the Church needs disciples today.

Discipleship is where you meet someone in their own mess and help lead them to Christ.  The Church needs disciples today because many people have given into the secular world and need help/guidance in falling in love with Christ.

John 4:14: Whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.

Do you have a favorite saint?  Who is it and why?

My favorite saint is St. Francis of Assisi.  He is my favorite because he went to the fringe of the community and served those who needed it the most.
