In today’s Gospel, Jesus takes the meager gifts of a teenaged boy and multiplies them to satisfy the hunger of a multitude. In the Sacrament of Marriage, he does the same: whenever we feel like we are not up to the challenges, Jesus takes our gifts, blesses them like the loaves and fish, and multiplies the love of our marriage.

En el evangelio de hoy, Jesús toma los dones pobres de un joven y los multiplica para satisfacer el hambre de una multitud. En el Sacramento del Matrimonio hace lo mismo: cuando sentimos que no podemos con los problemas, Jesús toma nuestros dones, los bendice como los panes y los pescados, y multiplica el amor en nuestro matrimonio.

St. Eugene Cathedral will again be offering the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd method of faith formation for three through six-year-old children in the coming school year. This method gives children a tactile experience with God's Holy Word by offering models alongside readings from the Bible. The children focus on Jesus' life and His description of the Kingdom of God. Children also gain a deeper understanding of the Mass through physical experiences of working with model materials. The children celebrate each liturgical season, as well as the concepts associated with it. This environment designed for young children is called the Atrium. Practical life lessons such as pouring, scooping, and sorting are also offered, helping children master the physical world in which they are still so new.
