National Marriage Week – February 7th through February 14th

Join us in celebrating National Marriage Week that will be held from February 7th through February 14th! 

National Marriage Week is a special time to reflect on the beautiful gift of the sacrament of matrimony. This year’s theme from the USCCB (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Office for Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth) is: “Marriage: Source of Hope, Spring of Renewal, Pursue a Lasting Love!”

We invite couples to strengthen their bond and deepen their lifelong commitment to each other. Please see below for ways to improve your marriage – that can be done at home with your spouse.

February Explanation Station from St. John Adult Faith Formation

February Explanation Station from St. John Adult Faith Formation

Why Catholic Bibles have more books than Protestant Bibles

The Catholic Church is entirely responsible for the composition of the Bible, which books are included, as well as the breakdown of the chapters and verses. There are 73 “books” in the Catholic Bible and 66 in the Protestant Bible. Protestants removed seven books because some verses were inconsistent with their theology.

Martin Luther removed Tobit, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Wisdom, Sirach and Baruch. He attempted to remove James and Revelation, but this was rejected by his followers and those two books stayed. Catholics are often accused of adding seven books, but despite this common belief, it is false. Older, pre-Protestant, Catholic translations of the Bible include them.
