  • National Catholic Bioethics Center (NCBC)

    Have you ever struggled with a medical or ethical decision and looked for specific

    Catholic resources that you know you can trust? In our complicated world, the National Catholic Bioethics Center (NCBC) is one such trusted resource that can help bring clarity.


    In addition to speaking with a Priest, please feel free to brows the free NCBC webiste. You will be able to access free ethics consultations and resources.


    The Bread of Life Catholic Community Respect Life Ministry has purchased a subscription to the NCBC this year. With this subscription, guidance regarding specific medical and ethical issues can be researched, and resources can be distributed to our family of parishes. If you would like a particular resource printed, please call your Parish Office.

    Morning Prayer To The Holy Spirit


    O Holy and astounding Spirit,

    You catch me by surprise at least once a day

    with the freshness of your love

    and  the unpredictability of your presence—

    especially in humble things

    that somehow give me immense joy.

    Some moments are completely now, full of joy

    as uplifting as the dawning sun,

    and those moments come from you, day by day

    Stand behind me today when I’m right and

    ought to be more determined,

    and block my way when I’m being

    unreasonable and ought to back off.

    Teach me true compassion for those in need,

    so I can be of genuine help to someone.

    Bless me, today, Holy Spirit, and astound me

    again.
