In the spirit of The Year of Faith

we would like to share a faith story from one of our parishioners.

“To have faith and believe that God is present and that He loves me was easy.  But to fully TRUST Him?  To trust that His intentions are pure and true and right, this is hard at times for anyone and most especially when faced with an uncertain circumstance. ”
