Parish Events
We offer a parish program for building a culture of
life. It combines preaching, teaching and witnessing. The steps are
as follows:
- The pastor or assistant attends a Humanae Vitae
conference.
- The pastor selects a weekend for preaching God's plan for
life at all Masses. Others do the rest.
- We offer a homilist to preach the homily at each Mass. Alternatively, a lay person will give a ten minute talk from the
pulpit after communion. The talk will conclude with an invitation to
read the encyclical Humanae Vitae, available outside the Church and to
attend a True Marital Love seminar in the parish hall.
- We will recruit volunteers from names provided by the
pastor to offer copies of Humanae Vitae for sale outside the church after
each Mass. The same volunteers will encourage people to attend the
seminar.
- We will recruit an NFP teacher to assist at the seminar after
each Mass.
- The homilist or lay volunteer will introduce the seminar
with some important teachings on values, including:
- True Responsible
Parenthood.
- The Christian call to generosity in procreation.
- How contraception leads to marital breakdown, divorce and a host of
social ills, including abortion.
- How NFP builds communication and chastity in a marital relationship.
- The NFP teacher will give an overview of NFP and provide
information as to the date, time and location of NFP classes.
- The pastor or assistant arranges three other dates for the entire above
process to be repeated, only he does the preaching himself.
