First Reading:
Come to me heedfully,
listen, that you may have life. (Is 55:3a)
Second Reading:
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth,
nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rom 8:38-39)
Gospel:
Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds.
They all ate and were satisfied. (Mt 14:19-20a)

A Message from our Parish Pastor, Father Phil

Dear Parishioners:
So, anticipating a $600K+ deficit for the current fiscal year, what are some possible ways of proceeding? We’re bouncing around several ideas . . .
|
|
Please pray the rosary with us each Friday at 4:00 pm on
Facebook
. There will be a compilation of live Rosaries, new pre-recorded Rosaries, and previously recorded throughout the summer.

Our parish family extends its sympathy to

The funds collected through our twinning relationship with ZeruZeru, Inc. continue to pay for the protection, care, and education of the vulnerable children at the center. Sister Helena has reported that it is an especially dangerous time for people with albinism in Tanzania due to the coronavirus
and
upcoming elections. We are all struggling in this unprecedented time, however, let us continue to come together as one family, sharing our love and kindness, generosity and prayer where and when we are able.
