Is our praise of God for His benefit or ours? Do we pray and worship God to fulfill our needs alone or do we do it for His glory? Maybe we praise God for both reasons? God is worthy of our praise not only after we receive the healing we've been praying for, but in all times!

Jesus we ask you to open our ears to hear your word, to open our eyes to see you working in our lives, and to open our lips to proclaim your praise! ... See MoreSee Less

Our Gretna Knights of Columbus do so much for the Church and for the community! Have you ever thought about joining this awesome community of men?𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚 𝐊𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭?
.
The #1 reason men say they don’t join is because they “don’t have time.” As we all strive to be good husbands, fathers, and neighbors, time becomes hard to find!
.
Your commitment to your family is rightfully your highest priority, and we would never want you to compromise that. You should consider the importance of leading your family by the example you set. We all want our children to grow up and be strong, faithful, caring, and principled adults. They learn that from you—not just in what you say, but in what you do!
.
Did you realize that you can become a Knight without ANY time commitment? Obviously, we want you to join us helping our parish and our community, but it is not required. Even if you helped out with only one activity each year, the simple gift of an hour or two of your time can make all of the difference to us (and to you).
.
If you would like to learn more or join the Knights, please contact Tim Hall at 307.214.3714.

The Church dedicates the month of September to Our Lady of Sorrows, also known as Mater Dolorosa (Mother of Sorrows). This devotion recalls the Blessed Virgin Mary’s spiritual martyrdom in virtue of her perfect union with the Passion of Christ. This was her role in salvation history, and what merited her place as the spiritual Mother of all Christians. This is symbolized by a single sword, or seven swords, piercing Mary's suffering heart, as foretold in Simeon's prophecy. Traditionally the Church meditates on the "Seven Sorrows" of our Blessed Mother: the prophecy of Simeon; the Holy Family's flight into Egypt; the loss of the Child Jesus for three days; the meeting of Mary and Jesus as he carried his cross; Jesus' crucifixion and death; Jesus' sacred body taken down from the cross; and Jesus' burial. The feast of Our Lady of Sorrows (Mater Dolorosa) is September 15. ... See MoreSee Less

We have many rituals and habits to prepare to have a meal with family and friends. But, what would we do to prepare for a meal with God? This simple question cuts to the heart of one's relationship with God. Do we prepare by removing ourselves from the "dirt" of the world? Or do we prepare ourselves by removing the "dirt" from our hearts? This week try praying a nightly Examination of Conscience, a review of the day and a prayer for forgiveness. See if this prayer heightens your thirst for Jesus in the Eucharist, better preparing you for the meal with God at Mass. ... See MoreSee Less

People walking away from the Catholic Church is not a new trend. We hear in today's Gospel: "many of His disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied Him. (John 6:66)" But do not despair, our God is a God of hope!

When life gets hard and we don't understand your Word, Jesus give us the conviction to stay, to continue to trust in your promises, and to be the guiding light that might just bring someone else back into the fullness of the faith. Thank you for gifts of faith and faithfulness to continue to follow you. ... See MoreSee Less
