A simple but colorful quilt can reflect the tapestry God creates, making every one of us a uniquely-hued square in His divine plan for truth and beauty in the world.
St. John the Baptist Parish in the 300-person farming community of Prague in Saunders County marked its 125th anniversary with Mass and a catered dinner Sept. 12. The parish made it a yearly tradition to raffle a quilt at its annual church bazaar each October, but the community’s quilting team retired, leaving the bazaar without perhaps its most prized attraction.

Most U.S. Catholics have heard the phrase “Catechesis of the Good Shepherd” (CGS) at some point in their lives of faith. But few Catholics have experienced it, compared to typical catechesis or religion classes in Catholic schools.
Yet several parishes in the Diocese of Lincoln are offering CGS, a way of teaching the Catholic faith that goes beyond mental knowledge, makes Christ and the riches of the faith more tangible, and builds greater reflectivity and understanding of God’s love for them as their shepherd.
