2180 The precept of the Church specifies the law of the Lord more precisely: "On Sundays and other holy days of obligation the faithful are bound to participate in the Mass."117 "The precept of participating in the Mass is satisfied by assistance at a Mass which is celebrated anywhere in a Catholic rite either on the holy day or on the evening of the preceding day."118 (2042, 1389)
2181 The Sunday Eucharist is the foundation and confirmation of all Christian practice. For this reason the faithful are obliged to participate in the Eucharist on days of obligation, unless excused for a serious reason (for example, illness, the care of infants) or dispensed by their own pastor.119 Those who deliberately fail in this obligation commit a grave sin.
The gift of wisdom enlightens the spirit to feel God's presence in the everyday events of ordinary life.
The Holy Spirit grants understanding as a guide in a Catholic's daily life and decisions. Confirmed Catholics have access to a greater capacity for understanding through prayer, discernment and the sacraments.
This gift heightens the sense of right and wrong. It also gives young Catholics the strength, through prayer and devotion, to reject what is wrong and choose what is right.
The Holy Spirit endows newly confirmed members of the faith with greater courage to live out their faith in the face of ridicule and hardship.
Reading scripture and studying the life of Jesus Christ can be more fruitful once a Catholic has been given the special gift of knowledge through Confirmation. Study of Scripture and the tradition of the Catholic faith are also more effective under the light of the Holy Spirit.
This gift is also called "piety." It opens the newly confirmed to a greater capacity for respect and trust in God and the Church. Like all gifts of the Holy Spirit, reverence must be fostered, encouraged and practiced vigorously to reach its full potential.
This gift is also called "fear of the Lord." It opens the eyes of the heart to see God's glory and holiness more fully. Recognizing God's power, perfection and goodness, a spiritual person can only respond and with wonder, awe and fear. This gift unites a soul more honestly with the God of creation.

Hello everyone,
Thank you all for such good behavior on the trip to La Crosse today, we really visited some special places.
On Wednesday, April 2, 2014, Sacred Heart and Corpus Christi is offering two options for the for the Ninth Graders of the Religious Education Program. There will be a regular class led by David Alcott at the regular time and place, from 6:15pm to 7:15pm. There will also be time set aside for Reconciliation/Confessions during the regular class, so if you have not been to confession in a while, please attend the regular class, or attend confession at a regularly scheduled time in the bulletin. It is a great Sacrament, and especially appropriate during Lent.
The other option is to go to Roger’s Cinema and watch the movie “God’s Not Dead”. For the student enrolled in the 9th grade, the Life Teen program will cover the $8.50 charge for the movie, a small soda and a small bag of popcorn. The cost of additional snacks or beverages will be at the expense of the attendee. This Number One Christian movie (which on its opening weekend earned third place at the box office) is an awesome family film about Christianity in today’s world, and lasts about two hours. We are encouraging the student’s parents/guardians to attend this family event. For additional family members the $8.50 deal is available but it will be at their expense.The tickets have to be preordered and that order must be received by Roger’s Cinema no later than 10:00 AM on Monday, March 31, 2014. The order will be placed for all attendees (parents/guardian and children). In order to have everything together, you must respond to this email by Sunday night on 3/30/14 if you would like to attend the movie. Please send the names of who is attending.
If you are sending your child to the movie, please have the child to Roger’s Cinema no later than 5:40 PM on Wednesday April 2nd to obtain decent seating. If anyone else other than the student are attending, please bring $8.50 in cash to make the transaction easy for each person. We will be meeting in the Lobby of Roger’s Cinema where the tickets will be handed out at 5:40 PM and then we enter the theater as a group. Mrs. Fernandez will be the chaperone, so please find her in the lobby. The movie will be over around 8:10, so the students can be picked up then. Enjoy the Movie!
