New Project: Renovation of the Marian Statue |
|
While our love and dedication to St. Anastasia's statue of the Blessed Mother has never faltered, her beauty and grace are now in need of our support. The beautification efforts will be done with a heartfelt dedication to our spiritual leader, Rev. Aloysius Funtila. We invite you to participate this project. Brick pavers are available and can be inscribed as a memorial to a deceased loved one or as a special intention for your family. These bricks will flank the Blessed Mother as she continues to watch over us, strengthening the community and surrounding us with beauty and love.

Featured Author: Joseph F. Girzone
Here are two titles by author Joseph F. Girzone. Continuing his series on Joshua, the stranger who enters people’s lives with amazing results, Girzone gives us Joshua and the Children , an easy read, in which Joshua enters an ordinary village beset by senseless violence. His influence , first on the children of the village, soon spreads to the adults and everyone is changed by Joshua and his kindness, gentleness and compassion.
In The Parables of Joshua, Girzone re-examines many of Jesus’ parables by reviving the timeless messages behind them and “ dressing them in modern clothes “, presenting them through Joshua in a conversational style that resonates with modern readers.
