Prayer for Intercession from Fr. Stanley Rother
O faithful shepherd, Blessed Stanley Rother, as priest and missionary, you tilled the soil with your hand and invited Christ Jesus to till the soil of your soul. You became a sign of the love of Christ the Good Shepherd for your People, and blessed their lives by your ministry. You stood firm and did not run from danger, bringing glory to God and His Church in your martyrdom. Blessed Stanley, obtain from the heart of Jesus healing and full recovery for those for whom we pray, and pray for me, that I too may be a sign of Christ’s love among His people. Teach me to faithfully till the soil of this life in the reality given to me by our Father, unafraid to stay with those God has given me, no matter the cost. Through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.

The Catholic School of St. Eugene Presents: Conversations with Katheryn Whitaker

   February 22 at 7:00 pm
   St. Eugene Church - Ross Hall
   
   February 23 at 12:00 noon
   Brown Bag Lunch & Q&A
   St. Eugene School Library
   (Please sign in at the office)

Kathryn was raised as an evangelical Protestant until she fell for a blue-eyed boy in uniform at Texas A&M. On the eve of their wedding, she converted to Catholicism and never looked back. Just when she had life figured out, Kathryn gave birth to her preemie and fifth child, Luke. His early entrance into the world led Kathryn to her knees and then her keyboard as she began documenting life in the neonatal intensive care unit, and beyond.
On her personal blog, teamwhitaker.org, she writes about her big family of six kids, carpool, Catholicism, prematurity, organizing projects, killer birthday parties, sanity checks and sneaking the occasional Dos Equis in her closet. She chats about nurturing your faith, cultivating a holy family and keeping your sanity through it all. She does it with candor, humor, and a heavy dose of Texas twang.
