Our blessed Savior reputedly promised St. Margaret Mary the following blessings: “In the excess of the mercy of my Heart, I promise you that my all powerful love will grant to all those who will receive Communion on the First Fridays, for nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance: they will not die in my displeasure, nor without receiving the sacraments; and my Heart will be their secure refuge in that last hour.”

Enrollment for School At Nazareth has begun. If you have not registered your children for School At Nazareth, please stop by the office during office hours. Questions? Email Tayler at: tcdabbraccio@rcdoc.org.

Reflecting God’s glory by using our hands and our resources to serve others is at the heart of this year’s Diocesan Support Appeal that kicks off the weekend of February 1-2.
The theme of the 2025 Diocesan Support Appeal is “Reflecting God’s Light,” which draws upon a quote from St. Francis of Assisi: “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.”
Bishop Michael Martin launches the Diocese of Charlotte's 2025 campaign in this video message by recalling the sacrifices of the early Catholics in our diocese who stretched themselves to further the Kingdom of God. “We are here today because of them,” Bishop Martin says. “What will future generations say of us? Will we have the courage and the audacity to form the world around us into the Body of Christ? Will we stretch ourselves to let God’s light shine through us?"

Reflejar la gloria de Dios usando nuestras manos y nuestros recursos para servir a los demás es el centro de la Campaña de Apoyo Diocesano de este año que comienza el fin de semana del 1 y 2 de febrero. El tema de la Campaña de Apoyo Diocesano de 2025 es “Reflejando la luz de Dios”, que se basa en una cita de San Francisco de Asís: “Toda la oscuridad del mundo no puede apagar la luz de una sola vela”. El obispo Michael Martin lanza la campaña 2025 de la Diócesis de Charlotte en este mensaje en video recordando los sacrificios de los primeros católicos de nuestra diócesis que se esforzaron para promover el Reino de Dios. “Estamos aquí hoy gracias a ellos”, dice el obispo Martin. “¿Qué dirán de nosotros las generaciones futuras? ¿Tendremos el coraje y la audacia de formar el mundo que nos rodea en el Cuerpo de Cristo? "¿Nos esforzaremos para dejar que la luz de Dios brille a través de nosotros?" Obtenga más información en línea en www.charlottediocese.org/giving/dsa-giving
