Happy Martin Luther King, Jr Weekend! Dr King represents a tradition within our nation’s history of social change rooted in the Gospel. Fr. Joyce preached last weekend of the difference between the demonstration of last week in our nation's capital and the demonstration of 1963. One ended in violence and the other ended without a single incident. I agree with Fr Kevin that it is because Dr. King was preaching the Gospel. As our country moves toward a transition of power this week, let’s pray that the leaders of our country never forget the rich legacy of Dr Martin Luther King rooted in the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our mission to form joyful disciples in the Lord Jesus Christ here at St John Vianney will have as much social impact when we are rooted in the Gospel. We are encouraging all parishioners to join the Alpha to reconnect with each other and reconnect with the Gospel.
Read on for important activities in our parish’s mission.
St. John Vianney, pray for us!
God bless,
Fr Joe
