22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners,

Today, our Gospel readings return to the Gospel of Mark. For the last seven (7) weeks we read from the sixth chapter of the Gospel of John on the discourse of the Bread of Life and on the 15 th of August we celebrated the Assumption of Mary. In the Second Reading today, Saint James tells us to “humbly welcome the word that has been planted in you and is able to save your souls. Be doers of the word and not hearers only…” May each one of us take a few minutes today and reflect on how we are implementing Saint James’ instruction.

This weekend is the monthly reflection on the Eucharist. The topic this weekend will be the Eucharistic Prayer.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) will begin in September. If you know of any one who would like to learn more about the Catholic Church, please call the rectory for more information.

Have a Blessed Week!
