What's Happening at SJE
This Week
Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
August 11/12, 2018

The Letter to the Ephesians urges us to be mindful that part of our life together in the Eucharist means being kind to one another, compassionate and forgiving, just as Christ has forgiven us. What can we do this week to show our kindness, compassion and forgiving attitude toward others in our family of faith? How can we be even better stewards of our faith community as, what St. Paul refers to as "Imitators of God?"

Now, the power and drama of Fr. Michael Gaitley's best-selling book "The Second Greatest Story Ever Told" are captured in an amazing DVD presentation that will challenge and enthrall you. In 10 fast-paced and lively sessions, Fr. Gaitley connects people and events in history to a unifying vision of splendor of God's merciful love. From the epic story of Poland's national suffering, to the events of Fatima, the revelations of St. Faustina, the heroic efforts of St. Maximilian Kolbe, and the life of St. John Paul II, the panorama of Divine mercy is fully revealed as a transformative reality.
