February is Heart Health Awareness Month!

Our Adult Day Services nurses are sharing simple, heart-healthy habits you can start today.

KNOW YOUR NUMBERS
• Two major risk factors for heart disease are high blood pressure and high cholesterol. If either is high, work with your doctor to get them into a healthy range.

HEART-HEALTHY EATING
Build a strong foundation with:
• Vegetables: leafy greens, broccoli, carrots
• Fruits: apples, bananas, oranges, pears, grapes
• Whole grains: oatmeal, brown rice, whole-grain bread
• Low-fat dairy: milk, cheese, yogurt
• Lean proteins: fish (salmon, tuna, trout), skinless chicken or turkey, lean beef
• Limit sodium, saturated fats, added sugars, and alcohol.

STAY ACTIVE
• Move more and sit less throughout the day.
• Any movement is better than none, and more activity brings more benefits.

PRIORITIZE SLEEP
• Quality sleep helps repair your heart and blood vessels, supports immunity, and lowers the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and stroke.

Small habits add up to a healthier heart!

This Sunday, Deacon Paul Kipfstuhl reflects on the moment Jesus called his first disciples, ordinary fishermen, invited to do extraordinary work.

Jesus still calls today. “I see and recognize your gifts. I can use you.”
We’re not called to serve alone, but to journey together, sharing love, mercy, and justice with the world.

Scripture and Mission with Deacon Paul Kipfstuhl.

As we return to Ordinary Time, Deacon Paul Kipfstuhl reflects on John the Baptist’s powerful witness and invites us to do the same.

Do our words and actions reflect the love of Christ?
Through Catholic social teaching and the model of see, judge, act, we are called to be informed, faithful people of action, living our faith boldly in 2026 and beyond.

Scripture and Mission with Deacon Paul Kipfstuhl.

As we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord, Deacon Paul Kipfstuhl reminds us of our own baptism, and the joy, responsibility, and mission that come with it.
We are all commissioned to bring Christ’s love into the world, especially by ensuring that every person’s basic rights, like food, shelter, and dignity, are respected.
This week, how will you live out your baptismal call?
