21st Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners,

The Liturgy today gives us a chance to step back and to think of our journey as disciples. This journey is not a short sprint, but a marathon. Its urgency is always there. The narrow gate is always there. We are not alone, and we have food for the journey. Our Eucharistic celebration strengthens us and gives us the grace to continue our journey to be faithful disciples.

The Parish High School of Religion Welcome meeting will be today, August 21 st immediately following the 11:00 A.M. Mass. All students and at least one parent needs to attend the meeting. The meeting will be held in church.

The Parish elementary religious education classes (CCD) have begun. If you have not registered your child(ren) for religious education, it is not too late to register.

The RCIA process will begin soon. If you know of anyone who would like to receive instructions in the Catholic faith, please give their name(s) to me by calling the rectory at 985-536-2887.

Next weekend, August 27 th and 28 th will be the special collection for the new air conditioning unit in church. I ask for your continued support.

Have a Blessed week!
