Communities of Holy Intimacy, Love, and Discipleship Communities of Holy Intimacy, Love and Discipleship [C.H.I.L.D.] is a beautiful depiction of who we are in the Kingdom of God, both on earth and as it is in heaven. These are the qualities we already embody when we remain abiding in Christ. As the Son abides in His Father, so too do we abide as a child. In the same manner, this is a true description of the abiding presence of God Almighty with the parish. “Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing” (Jn 15:5). Feast of Saint John Eudes August 19th
