Please join us for Solemn Vespers at St. Ann, Sunday, September 24 at 5 p.m.
We are looking forward to praying with you. The Divine Office is a great way to sanctify the day by continual praise of God and to pray for the needs of others in our diocese and around the world. Due to many parish visits this fall, we only have three Solemn Vespers on the seminary calendar before Christmas, click here to review.
I am looking forward to seeing you at Vespers - spread the word.
In Domino,
Fr. Matthew Kauth

Infertility often feels like a long and lonely path. But you are not alone. Wherever you are on the path of infertility, or in the experience of pregnancy loss, there is a community here, built on faith in Christ and His good plan of fruitfulness for each one of us.
ABOUT THE RETREAT

Come with your spouse or on your own to be supported, hear inspiring reflections from the Springs in the Desert team, receive practical suggestions for strengthening your relationship with God and your spouse, and experience friendship with others on this same path.

Office of Family Life - Diocese of CharlotteWhen you look deeper at Natural Family Planning (NFP) Awareness, perhaps you are wondering why the Church prohibits contraception and encourages NFP instead. It comes down to the dignity we have being made male and female in God's image and the call for a married couple to be a truthful sign of God's love in the marital act. The best preaching I've heard on the topic is from Fr. Patrick Schultz on his podcast Slaking Thirsts. Do yourself a favor and subscribe to the podcast!
