The Pot of Gold Lottery Program has a new Jackpot Prize Winner!  The $126,000 was awarded tonight!

Thank you for your continued support of the Pot of Gold Lottery Program…next week’s Jackpot Prize is $5,000 and you could be the lucky winner!  Tickets are available in the rectory or after all the Masses in the vestibule of the church!  You’ve gotta be in it, to win it!

In his latest column, Archbishop Chaput writes, “The goal of my column this week is simple: pointing readers to The New Atlantis, one of the nation’s best journals about science, technology and their intersection with ethics. Earlier this week (August 22), The New Atlantis released an important new overview of nearly 200 peer-reviewed studies from the 1950s to the present on issues of sexuality and gender identity, with findings from the biological, psychological and social sciences.

The overview, entitled ‘Sexuality and Gender,’ can be found online here  While the body of the overview may be data-dense for the average reader, the report’s executive summary, conclusion and prefatory notes to each section are clear, well-written and accessible to any interested adult. And we should be interested, because sexuality and gender identity are now sharply disputed topics with big implications for the health of individuals and our wider culture.”
