I came into the Catholic Church because there was no satisfying answer for the suffering that was part of my life and here there was an elevated place for suffering.   I remain because I still believe the Catholic Church is the Church Jesus founded by giving it His authority; and it is overseen by the Holy Spirit.  
 
I see the Catholic Church as the root and trunk of the tree of Christianity.  Other denominations are closer or farther from the trunk depending on their central emphasis or protest.  I find the Catholic Church richer, deeper, wider, and more beautiful than one can experience in a lifetime.
The Truth will always be under attack by Satan and so as disappointing and dangerous as it is to be part of the attacked, for the sake of marriage, family, and life, the infection in the church must be identified, removed and healed before the culture can be healed.  This is the painful but welcome process we are now experiencing.
 
Jesus is in the Catholic Church and because I want Him there is no other place to go! –Cathy Wilder

"Meet Your Mother", by Dr. Mark Miravalle, renowned Marian expert and professor who has taught and written about Mary for over 25 years, provides a perfect way to introduce someone to the life and truth about Jesus' Mother, but also a way to renew a person's existing knowledge and love for the woman who Jesus gave personally to every human being with his dying words, "This is your mother."

Other inspiring CDs and books are also available.  Recommended donations are $4/CD or $5/Book (checks can be made payable to the parish). 

Congratulations to all those welcomed into the Church at the Easter Vigil on Saturday evening! Also, many thanks to those who beautified our church, provided the beautiful music, arranged for the hospitality and anyone who otherwise contributed to this beautiful celebration.

The myParish app allows us to better communicate with you throughout the week and keep you updated with relevant parish news or updates. The app is very well designed and very intuitive. It is a great resource for parishioners by providing daily Mass readings, Catholic news and prayers, convenient prayer and Confession reminders, our bulletins, parish calendar and more. We hope our app is a tool for fostering stronger parish life at St. Joseph Marello and better engaging the New Evangelization.
