Episode 3 on March 5
"Jesus Loves the Little Children"
Jesus camps on the outskirts of Capernaum, AD 26. A local girl named Abigail discovers the location and plays with the craftman's tools while he is away. She invites her friend Joshua to come see Jesus for himself. Jesus soon befriends Abigail and Joshua, as well as the friends they invite in the following days. The children help Jesus with his work. Jesus teaches them about love, prayer, justice, compassion, faith, and wisdom. When he is asked the reason why he is here, Jesus reveals himself as the Messiah, reciting the words of the prophet Isaiah. After Jesus moves camp, Abigail discovers he left a gift for her.

Reception following the Mass
Have you taken the
Disciple Maker survey yet?
The questions will ask you to reflect on your own spiritual growth and enable you to provide feedback on our parish’s efforts to help you grow. All responses will be confidential. This information will be invaluable to Office of the
Pastor and our various ministries as we plan for the future and strive to be the best disciples we can be. We will receive the results this spring/summer at which time we will share what we have learned with the entire parish.
“To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love, for it is in giving that we receive. . .”
~The Prayer of Saint Francis
