Meet our July Disciple of the Month, Rita Niblack! From accompanying those entering the Church through OCIA and serving with Guns to Gardens, Rita's life is a beautiful "yes" to God's invitation to love others because she has first been loved. archden.org/give/how-rita-…

July is traditionally dedicated to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus. The Blood of Christ, poured out on the cross and given to us in the Eucharist, washes away our sins, strengthens us in times of trial and draws us into communion with him.
