When is the last time you took a leap of faith?  People did it all the time when Jesus said, "Follow Me."  Are you ready to follow, to take at least one step forward and experience a miracle at              St. John's?  When was the last time we had a MIRACLE on 2nd Ave. N.W.???

From the American Bishops' Statement: 
"Living the Gospel of Life"  Nov. 1998


     "The arena for moral responsibility includes not only the halls of governments, but the voting booth as well.  Laws that permit abortion, euthanasia and assisted suicide are profoundly unjust. -- Because they are unjust they cannot bind citizens in conscience, be supported, acquiesced in or recognized as valid."  (Sec. 33, Living the Gospel of Life, American Bishops' statement, Nov. 1998)
