No one considers it overbearing or out of place for a business to require its employees to conform to a dress code. Why then should we be afraid to say that that neatness, decency and modesty in dress, wearing our best according to our means, is the proper attire for Church?

Solid, ethical values that respect and support human life predate the Christian faith. Coming from 5 centuries before Christ, the Hippocratic Oath is one of the oldest binding documents in history.

We truly make our life Christian by our giving. And we have a right to expect good stewardship of the gifts we offer for the Church’s mission.

At a time when some parishes are without priests, the gift of three new priests is a most treasured blessing. We need priests. No priest, no Eucharist. No Eucharist, no Church.
