WYD Fundraiser for Steven Stapleton

One of our classmates, Steven, is participating in a fund raiser for his travels to Australia for World Youth Day. On April 20th, St. John Neumann will be hosting a movie and dinner night at St. John Neumann Church in Canton. For just $10, you can bring your family, have a bowl of quality, home-made soup and watch a movie about the
life of John Paul II.

Attending this movie and dinner night would be a great way to support Steven and have a great time!

Quotes from Golf Champion

Interesting quotes from the Master's Golf tournament champion...

Johnson, who describes himself as “just a normal guy,” from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is married and has a three-month-old son.

“My Christian faith is very important to me,” Johnson said. “It was very special to win the Masters golf tournament on Easter Sunday. I am very blessed. I would like to thank God. I felt Jesus Christ with me on the golf course every step of the way.”

“Being Easter, my goal was to glorify God and hopefully I did that today,” he said, crediting PGA Tour chaplain Larry Moody, of Search Ministry, for the weekly Bible study that Johnson said allowed him to remain peaceful during the final round, reported the Baptist Press April 9.

“On the 18th green, seeing my wife and our new baby, my parents and brother, I started to get emotional,” Johnson said. “I tried to stay in the moment and just started praying.”

Catholic Heart Attack

A man suffered a serious heart attack and had open heart bypass surgery. He wakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at a Catholic hospital As he was recovering, a nun asked him questions regarding how he would like to pay for his treatment. She asked if he had health insurance.

He replied, in a raspy voice, "No health insurance."

The nun asked if he had money in the bank.

He replied, "No money in the bank."

The nun asked, "Do you have a relative who could help you?"

He said, "I only have a spinster sister, who is a nun."

The nun became agitated and announced loudly, "Nuns are not spinsters! Nuns are married to God."

The patient replied, "Send the bill to my brother in law.
