18th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners;

For the next four Sundays, the Gospel ask us to look seriously about getting ready for the return of the Master. What is worthwhile? Is it the accumulation of wealth? See today’s Gospel reading. How can we do the right thing? We should try to be good stewards! See the 19 th Sunday’s Gospel. Will it be easy to live the mission of Jesus? See the 20 th Sunday’s Gospel. Will there be struggles and tribulations? See the 21st Sunday’s Gospel. In summary, these readings are about the end of times.

The second collection this weekend is for the Building Maintenance Fund.

Have you noticed the Pieta, that’s the statue of our Blessed Mother, Mary holding her Son, Jesus after He was taken off the Cross? A few weeks ago, it was restored by Godfrey Studio of Ecclesiastical Art. The cost of the project was $2500. The Ladies Altar Society donated $500.00 toward the project. If any individual or organization would like to contribute to the project, donations are greatly appreciated.

Have a Blessed Week!
