“Identity lies in the intersection of the diverse forces that make up my life and integrity lies in relating those forces in ways that bring me wholeness and life rather than fragmentation and death.”

Teaching with Heart
“[The heart is] the loom on which the threads [student, subject, and teacher] are tied, the tension is held, the shuttle flies, and the fabric is stretched tight.”

Bulletin
A bean supper will be held on Tuesday evening in the church hall. Music will follow.
Risk
“You just heard in the Gospel that one must not love oneself so much as to avoid getting involved in the risks of life…Whoever out of love for Christ gives themselves to the service of others will live, like the grain of wheat that dies-but only apparently. If it did not die, it would remain alone. Only in undoing itself does it produce the harvest.”
Oscar Romero
thou shalt not kill
“I want to make a special appeal to soldiers, national guardsmen and policemen: each of you is one of us. The peasants you kill are your own brothers and sisters. When you hear a man telling you to kill, remember God’s words, ‘thou shalt not kill.’ No soldier is obliged to obey a law contrary to the law of God. In the name of God, in the name of our tormented people, I beseech you, I implore you; in the name of God I command you to stop the repression.”
Oscar Romero
Death and Resurrection
“I do not believe in death without resurrection. If they kill me, I will be resurrected in the hearts of the Salvadoran people.”
Oscar Romero
