Q. My neighbors and my family are both members of the parish. I attend mass every week and my neighbors are not there as frequently. How do I respond when they ask me to bring their envelope with me to church on the Sundays they aren't planning on attending?
Q. What does the church say about drinking...is it allowed? Is it a sin to get drunk?
Q. Fr. Remo and Staff; I was particularly impressed and warmed after vewing the beautiful landscape in the various gardens around the St. Thomas Aquinas facilities. The beauty gardens surrounding the many statues obviously resulted from many hours of loving labor contributed by dedicated parishioners. Please pass along my compliments as well as my sentiments of "Well Done!", to all involved.
Q. Please help me with this concern...question that I have regarding God's forgiveness. I find myself in turmoil, struggling with my own sinfulness and fully accepting that I'am forgiven. Why the struggle?? Because of what I hear and by what I read...that God does forgive especially in the sacrament of Penance.However...I also hear /read that we will have temporal punishment for our sins at the time of our judgement.Is this true? If it is true...then am I right in assessing that we aren't totally forgiven for our sins if we must experience temporal punishment at death ? Or is it true that God forgets our sins completely ??
Q. I have a question(s) regarding the new organ. Does the organ have the capability to play as a piano? I know some organs have that feature. If it does have that feature, why are we keeping the current piano? Based on all the problems during communion it would solve this situation completely. Thank you in advance for your help in answering this question.
Q. I am going through many struggles in my life. sometimes I drift away from the church and God and it takes me a while to come back. Today I went to confession and like always I felt wonderful to be in God's grace. I have three children and am praying thoughtfully that my last son would hear the calling to become a priest. My other two children have fallen away from the church and it breaks my heart. Can you give me any advice on getting them back into church? My husband does not speak to our older son and he has two children and is not married to the woman he lives with. My daughter has had a child out of wedlock and refuses to go to church with us-her and the baby live with us. Our marriage and life have been turned upside down for 3 years. Any advice you can give will certainly be welcome.
Q. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for two years and been unsuccessful. We are currently working with infertility doctors. I will NOT consider IVF, but want to know how IUI is viewed by the Church. I continue to pray we can conceive naturally.
Q. I know that the church is against divorce in general. How does the church view an abusive situation where the wife is physically, verbally, or mentally abused by the husband? Is the wife not permitted to leave the abusive relationship?
Q. My spouse and I have been married for 17 years and have been practicing Catholics. We have 4 children and are raising them in the faith. I have received the sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, First Communion and Confirmation, as have my oldest child. We are interested in renewing our vows in the Church as we were only joined together by a Justice of the Peace. I always assumed my wife received the sacraments as I have but recently when I inquired, I only believe she has been baptized. I've read the guidelines for receivng Communion and am concerned that she may not have received the Sacraments as required, but still receives Communion regularly. I am unsure of how to approach her as well as the church about my concerns and would like to know how my concerns should be handled. Thank-you!
Q. Question is based on marriage - I have been with my husband for over 25yrs -We lived in common law for about 18, Finally decided to get married in the catholic church, the older he gets the more insecure he seems about our relationship - I keep reassuring him there is nothing to be concern about - I know he loves me very much and I him - My issue is sometimes he shuts down the communication entirely for days, then he snaps out of it like it did not happen but this does affect me tremendously, his faith is not strong as it use to be - he does not believe in speaking to anyone regarding this issue - Is there any good reading materials that we both can read - I want him to be strong in faith as he once was.
