Today begins National Natural Family Planning Awareness Week!
This year’s theme is:
Designed by God, Guided by Love, Open to Life

Church teaching about the moral regulation of births in marriage is rooted in the nature of humanity as being made in God’s image and likeness. That means that every man and every woman has a capacity to love just like God—selflessly. We can make a gift of ourselves—one to the other. The teaching is also rooted in the nature of marriage as designed by God. Married love is the one-flesh union which is given freely, totally (permanent), faithfully, and fruitfully. Since the methods of NFP respect the love-giving (unitive) and life-giving (procreative) nature of the conjugal act, they support God's design for married love and the gift of life.

Marriage is one of the Catholic Churchʼs greatest paths to holiness. From the first Christian missionaries to modern-day martyrs, married couples have shown that a shared life rooted in faith, sacrifice, and love can become a powerful witness to the Gospel.

Throughout the month of July, the Church celebrates the feast days of several holy husbands and wives whose lives continue to inspire Catholic families today.

Here are four of those couples:

A Day to Remember! 🇧🇸

What a wonderful celebration of fellowship, laughter, and Bahamian pride at our Retired & Elderly Pre-Independence Fun Day!

Our seniors and retirees enjoyed a day filled with exciting games, bingo, a lively Bahamian skit, a spirited Junkanoo rush-out, prizes, surprises, and the joy of being together. The smiles, music, and shared memories made the day truly special.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success, our organizers, volunteers, parish representatives, and all who attended. Your kindness and dedication created an unforgettable experience for our retired and elderly community.

Together, we celebrated our heritage, honored our seniors, and strengthened the bonds of our parish family. 🇧🇸

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR !!!

Today, we celebrate the feast of St. Joseph.

St. Joseph is honored with feast days throughout the Liturgical Year. This feast encourages us to look at Joseph's role as husband and head of the Holy Family.

Most of what we know about the life of St. Joseph comes to us from Scripture and legends that have sprung up regarding his life. Though Joseph is only mentioned by two of the evangelists, he is paid the compliment of being a "just" man. This is a way of saying that Joseph was such a good and holy man that he shares in God's own holiness. In addition, Joseph gives us an example of how to be a just spouse and how to have holy relationships.

Joseph's example as a husband can be best seen in how he respected Mary. He realized that God had a special plan for his wife and for his son, and Joseph did everything in his power to help this plan become reality. When Joseph was given chances to give up his vocation to the married life, by divorcing Mary or leaving her, he resisted the temptation and stayed by her side providing support and love.

The feast of St. Joseph Husband of Mary has been celebrated throughout the church since the tenth century and has been honored as the Patron of the Universal Church since 1870. St. Joseph is the patron of workers, carpenters, Austria, Belgium, Bohemia, Canada, Mexico, Peru, and southern Vietnam.

St. Joseph, pray for us! 🙏
