In Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet fall in love. Coming from two warring families, these two “star-cross’d” lovers are doomed from the start. In the famous balcony scene, Juliet tells Romeo, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet.” This one brief line captures the tragedy of the entire play.

From the Desk of Father Ed:

Dear Parishioners,
One theme that is central and perhaps unique to the Christian faith is the theme of forgiveness. Every time we pray the Our Father, the prayer given to us from Jesus when His closest friends, the Apostles, asked him to teach them how to pray, reminds us of the importance of forgiveness. “...Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us…” If we want to be forgiven by our Heavenly Father then we must be willing to forgive our brothers and sisters.
