Father, are we getting close to the point where we again recommend not holding hands during the Our Father or exchanging handshakes? The swine flu concern may be enough reason. Thanks

Million Rosaries for the Unborn Worldwide:

The Saint Michael the Archangel Organization is once again asking all to join in praying the Rosary for the unborn babies. This event will be held worldwide on October 16-18, 2009. It is hoped that people throughout the world will pray the Rosary for an end to the surgical and non-surgical killing of unborn babies. More information is available at

www.SaintMichaelTheArchangelOrganization.org
When you go to the St. Michael the Archangel website, there is information in obtaining bumper stickers with “Our Lady of Guadalupe”.

sorry, i haven't gotten around to writing in this recently...

while there is concern about the swine flu, no directive has come down from the diocese about any changes. if and when they ask us to do that, we will comply. for now, anyone who is concerned about having the flu is advised not to come to church or any public place for that matter.

i just want to note that i will not be available for confessions this saturday. i am sorry about any inconvenience this will cause.

Dear, fr. Tim Thompson,
   I am a transplanted New Yorker who has not attended catholic church for many years and to be honest, I spent most of my adult life in and out of prison. 2 years ago after being released from prison in N.Y. I came to tx with a promise to live an honest life, yet have given up hope, no one will give me a job and basically have been a charity case all this time, I'm a hard worker and quite friendly, but do not have many friends here. Last night the thought came to me that I should end my life and would like to make a confession before I do. I tried to find a old friend, brother jack Moylan, who I know since I was 16, so as to seek some spiritual guidance but not been successful on this endeaver. My e-mail address is tommy96a@live.com. This may be a little morbib, but i am very lonely and my self esteem is low and and deflated ego with a total loss of hope.With this being said, may you have a blessed day.

I have read articles by folks in the mental health field that speak of the benefits of reading to help in clinical depression.

Not an expert on scripture, but I am sure there must be some psalms that help with our human purpose of existence. Why Catholic? Why Baltimore Catechism? .....they provide good answers.

Thomas,
Our Daily Bread 300 Oak St. near downtown Denton could be a starting place. The hours are 10:00 am - 1:30 pm

I am afraid to open the links provided on the previous post. It looks like Spam to me and may be some type of virus which may not have been posted by a quote un quote angle.

Is anyone monitoring this site. What is the ips address of the previous poster. Maybe it is some kind of innocent joke. Very strange indeed

EWTN Rocks!!

The message in question appears to be advertising spam. I wouldn't click on any of the links.

Thanks, SB for the response and advice.

Feast of Christ the King and next Advent. What a beautiful liturgical time of year? Anyone agree?

I too love EWTN. St. Mark's as well.

I've noticed a flurry of activity of late on this site. I just wanted to comment that I think it is grand to have a site available to promote our Church and faith.
Has anyone signed the Manhattan Declaration? I think that is the correct wording. I am going to go do a google search and then maybe some of the computer experts from St. Mark's , can figure out how to paste a link so that the number of signatures can become astronomical or whatever.

I just signed the Manhattan Declaration you can find the site at Manhattan Declaration.org
