Good News

A woman is caught in adultery and should be stoned to death. Jesus sees the whole event and forgives her. He asks the elders to cast the first stone if they have no sin of their own. In the end, everyone walks away. The woman is forgiven. Let us ask for forgiveness from those around us. CCD NEWS - Today, Sun. March 21, all students will attend the 9:00 AM Mass. Grades 1-8 will meet from 10:00 - 11:30 AM. Sun. March 28 , Grades 1-8 will meet from 10:00 - 11:30 AM. Confirmation Class, Grades 9 & 10 & Sponsors, will meet from 10:00 - 1:00 PM.
