Friends,
I'm excited to now be offering a "Pastor's Page" on our weekly bulletin!
I'll use this space to share things in my heart for the building up of the parish and "the good of the order".
Of special note, next Tuesday, September 18th at 7PM, I would like to invite all men of the parish 21 years and older to a very informal gathering of Bible, Bacon, and Beverages in the Social Hall. Join your brothers in faith in a relaxed environment to meet one another and dive into Scripture, virtue, the faith. And enjoy bacon. Lots of bacon. Because bacon is good. Soft drinks and beer/wine will be offered.
Also, I am very excited about this weekend's Kick-off of the Year of Prayer and our first weekly parish-wide Eucharistic Holy Hour on Thursday, September 20, at 7PM in the Church. At a Holy Hour, Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament is set out on the altar for adoration. There are traditional songs praising Jesus, I'll give a short reflection, there will be time for silent prayer, and we close with Benediction, where Our Lord Himself pours forth His blessing as the priest makes the Sign of the Cross with the Eucharist over the people. You are welcome to come when you can, leave when you need to. Dedicated time in prayer in front of the Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament is never wasted, and God responds when we are open. Everyone is invited. And be not afraid if you've never done something like this. We'll walk through it together.
The Lord has great things in store for us every day. Thank you for being a great parish family!
Peace in Christ,
Fr. Michael
Parochial Administrator

Stewardship Scripture Reflection
|
|
Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
In the second reading today, St. James has harsh words for those who do not put their faith into action. May we be such good stewards of God’s gifts to us that we can never be accused of having “faith that does nothing in practice.”
