Thank you for registering and joining our parish family at the Church of St. Wenceslaus. Whichever church you primarily attend and participate (St. Wenceslaus in New Prague, St. John in Union Hill, or St. Scholastica in Heidelberg), we are pleased you have prayerfully considered and joined our small and faithful part of the larger Catholic family that is the universal Church and Mystical Body of Christ.
In Chapter 10 of St. Augustine’s Confessions, he cries out, “Late have I loved thee, O beauty ever ancient, ever new…” We strive to love, worship, and serve the one true God in Jesus Christ in His Holy Catholic Church. We desire that through the Sacraments, devotional life, catechesis, and fraternal love and fellowship all our parishioners and our local communities will grow ever closer to Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit active in our lives.
As you review the pages of this booklet, please consider how you may let Jesus Christ complete the good work He has started in you through your own active life of worship, learning, service to others, and prayer. With God’s grace, we can all grow stronger in the life of Christ, and the beauty of God that is ever ancient and ever new may be newly manifest in our lives.
In Christ,
Father Eugene Theisen
