The question of suffering remains one of the enigmas confronting humanity. This topic is particularly significant at a time of global pain, such as ours. Yet, the Christian faith renews our hope and confidence in the Lord, who is also the Lord of history. The Lord will help us all to understand the Via Dolorosa of this life with the eyes of faith, “For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison” (2 Cor. 4: 17-18).
We invite you to join us for an evening of intellectual engagement and interactive session with a renowned professor and public speaker on the topic:
Suffering: A Catholic Perspective

Time: 5:00 – 6:00 PM
Venue: Saint Martin de Porres Church Hall
Presenter: Mark Giszczak, S.S.L., Ph.D.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION (Catechesis of the Good Shepherd)
Active members of St. Martin de Porres are invited to register for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, a religious formation for children aged 3-12 based on Montessori principles, scripture, and Catholic teaching. This approach began over 100 years ago with Maria Montessori, was developed by Sofia Cavaletti and Gianna Gobbi and many other collaborators beginning in the 1950's - and continues today to grow throughout the world. Its basis comes from close observation of children and their relgious needs.
The children will meet at Sacred Heart of Mary for a two-hour session each week in a carefully prepared room called an "atrium." Each atrium is set up for the unique needs of a specific "phase" of childhood:
Level I for children aged 3-6 years, Level II for 6-9 years, and Level III for 9-12 years.
For more information about "CGS", go to www.cgsusa.org, or contact:
Director of Children's Ministry
(303) 499-8989 x205 or email: childrensministry@sacredheartofmary.com
For atria times and to register, go to: www.sacredheartofmary.org
Select "Learn" and then "Children's Ministry.
Parent Centered Religious Education for Children
Children's Ministry is in the process of choosing a parent centered religious education program for children whose schedule does not permit an atrium session. More information is coming. However, parents are invited to choose this option and register. It will involve a home-based RE program with regular check-ins/help from a trained catechist.
Please contact Parish Office for additional information 303-499-7744.
