Cannot Marry in the Catholic Church Due to Prior Marriage?
Pope Francis streamlined the process to petition for a declaration of nullity to make the process shorter. He also eliminated the mandatory fee. If a person is able to prove in this process that their prior marital bond was invalid for some reason, then he or she can marry in the Catholic Church or validate a current civil marriage.

Saint Bartholomew’s Story
August 24th
In the New Testament, Bartholomew is mentioned only in the lists of the apostles. Some scholars identify him with Nathanael, a man of Cana in Galilee who was summoned to Jesus by Philip. Jesus paid him a great compliment: “Here is a true Israelite. There is no duplicity in him”. When Nathanael asked how Jesus knew him, Jesus said, “I saw you under the fig tree”. Whatever amazing revelation this involved, it brought Nathanael to exclaim, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel”. But Jesus countered with, “Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this”.
Nathanael did see greater things. He was one of those to whom Jesus appeared on the shore of the Sea of Tiberias after his resurrection. They had been fishing all night without success. In the morning,they saw someone standing on the shore though no one knew it was Jesus. He told them to cast their net again, and they made so great a catch that they could not haul the net in. Then John cried out to Peter, “It is the Lord.”
When they brought the boat to shore, they found a fire burning, with some fish laid on it and some bread. Jesus asked them to bring some of the fish they had caught,and invited them to come and eat their meal. John relates that although they knew it was Jesus, none of the apostles presumed to inquire who he was. This, John notes, was the third time Jesus appeared to the apostles.

Stewardship Corner
by: Walter Jung
Why should we embrace stewardship? Because our lives are a gift from God, calling us to give ourselves to Him in return, our whole heart, soul and mind. There is a big distinction between giving to a need and the need to give.
God has created us with the need to give. So why not take the opportunity and commit to TIME, one of the three fundamentals of the Three T’s.
Are you spending too much time on social media via the internet, live stream movies, television and less time for our spouse, children or parents? And what about the ministries of your parish and community?
Don’t be tempted to say “I just don’t have the time for God”. We all have time! It’s a matter of prioritizing our time wisely and all other areas of our lives will become orderly.
Be a good Steward by giving your time as a reȧection of your growing relationship with God.
Time sets the stage for the use of your talents. Make a commitment! Join any one of our church ministries now.
