A Message from the Pastor:
My Friends in the Lord Jesus, We continue the liturgical season of Ordinary Time. It began in January. It was “interrupted” by the Season of Lent and Easter. It began again the day after Pentecost. The last two Sundays were celebrated with the Solemnity of The Most Holy Trinity and with the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of the Lord. We are now beginning the twelfth week. The liturgical season of ordinary time is the longest of the Church seasons. We will celebrate the season of Ordinary Time until the First Sunday of Advent, November 29th. The First Sunday of Advent begins again the Church’s liturgical cycle. The whole of the mystery of Christ is honored and recognized in its fullness during Ordinary Time. The season of Ordinary Time has as its focus regular Sunday worship and its impact on our lives as disciples of Jesus Christ. It directs our attention to the ministry and teachings of Jesus as we listen to the gospels each week. Strengthened by the Eucharist and encouraged, supported and formed by the scripture readings, we strive to love God and our neighbor. Now, there is nothing ordinary about that. St. Paul writes about confidence in faith in his second Letter to the Corinthians when he says “We too believe and therefore we speak, knowing that the one who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and place us in his presence…Therefore we are not discouraged…” This is, it seems to me, one of the basic themes of Ordinary Time. Let us be encouraged and reminded that we are always in the presence of Jesus Christ. Jesus is always with us. In prayer, and in a moment of reflective calm and quiet, take comfort in this truth. We have the conviction of faith. Jesus is the source of our hope and courage even in affliction, illness, worry, doubt, fear or anxiety. May the words of the psalms find a home in hearts, “They cried to the Lord in their distress; from their straights he rescued them, and he hushed the storm to a gentle breeze, and the billows of the sea were stilled. They rejoiced that they were calmed, and he brought them to their desired haven…I trust in the Lord; my soul trusts in his word.” Fr. Ron

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY !
12th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father.”
(Matthew 10:32)
Would others know that you are Catholic by the way you act and speak? Do you share your Catholic faith with others? Do you defend your Catholic faith when the situation arises or do you remain silent? Do you pray in public before meals? Pray for the strength and courage to be a joyful witness of our Catholic faith when the opportunity presents itself. Let us become the radiant light and bold witness that we are called to be!
