Greetings!
From the Pastor's Desk
This weekend we celebrate the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist which takes the place of the 12 th Sunday of Ordinary Time in the church’s liturgical calendar this year. John the Baptist had an important role in salvation history. He was the last and greatest of the prophets because he was the prophet closest in time and proximity to Jesus. I am inspired by John’s humility shown by his words, “He (Jesus) must increase; I must decrease.” (John 3:30).

Help Us Close The Gap Before June 30. We are facing a projected deficit of $ 25,000 in our Sunday collection income for July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018. If possible, please give an extra $10, $25, $50, $100 or more beyond your current giving level to help us “Close the Gap Before June 30” and eliminate our projected deficit.

Trivia Question of the Week

This Apostle’s feast day is July 3. He wanted to see and touch the risen Jesus, and he refused to believe the testimony of the other Apostles that Jesus was risen from the dead until he saw it with his own eyes. Who is this Apostle?
See the bottom of this newsletter for the answer.
