We thank God for the great Fall Festival we had this year. We’re still working on the final numbers, but I can assure you that we will reach our

Special thanks to Molly Fontenot and Jose Narvaez, our Fall Festival Chairpersons and to all the Fall Festival Committee. A special thanks to Linda Arfele, our Parish Adminis-trator for all the hard work and assistance. We are amazed at all our Youth, they were

awesome, and we are proud of them. And a great thankyou for all the donations to the festival, to all the booth sponsors and to all of the persons who purchased live auc-tion items at the Launch Party and the Festi-

val, including dinner with Father.

And as I had already mentioned, the an-nouncement of our new Chairpersons of our

TWENTY– EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME / VIGÉSIMO OCTAVO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO

Stewardship Reflection

28th Sunday in Ordinary Time: October 14 That we are generous with all our gifts, especially those that mean the most to us. “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” (Mark 10:25) Jesus uses tough language that we may not want to hear. But, we are all called to be generous with all our gifts. Not just the ones we pick and choose, but all our gifts: our time in prayer to God, our talent in participating in parish ministries and our treasure supporting our local parish and other charities.

28º domingo del tiempo ordinario: 14 de octubre Que seamos generosos con todos nuestros dones, especialmente aquellos que significan más para nosotros. "Es más fácil que un camello pase por el ojo de una aguja que para un rico entrar en el reino de Di-os" (Marcos 10:25). Jesús usa un lenguaje difícil que quizás no deseamos escuchar. Pero todos estamos llamados a ser generosos con todos nuestros dones. No solo los que escogemos y elegimos, sino también todos nuestros dones: nuestro tiempo de oración a Dios, nuestro talento para participar en los ministerios de la par-roquia y nuestro tesoro para apoyar a nuestra parroquia local y otras obras de caridad.
