Week 37: Chris is now considered full-term but continues to gain and grow every day. Lungs are days from completion. “I’m practicing breathing with my amniotic fluid.” It is easy to grasp things with Chris’s little fingers. Typically, boys will weigh more than girls at birth. Only 4% of babies are actually born on their due date. Mom, pack your bags and don’t forget the camera for those all-important pictures of the baby. “They will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our
God.” Isaiah 35:2

Religious Education & Faith Formation News
Featured Saint of the Week of December 4, 2016: St. Augustine
Patron Saint of 3rd Grade
St. Augustine was an intellectual and worldly man who shunned Christianity for much of his life. His mother, St. Monica, prayed for his conversion for many years. He had a dramatic conversion to Christianity at the age of 33. Here are some beloved quotes from St. Augustine:
You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you. If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself. But my sin was this, that I looked for pleasure, beauty, and truth not in Him but in myself and His other creatures, and the search led me instead to pain, confusion, and error.
