27th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners,
As Catholics, we are called to cherish, defend, and protect those who are most vulnerable, from the beginning of life to its natural end, and every point in between. During October, the Church in the United States, celebrates Respect Life Month, a time in which we are invited to reflect on the dignity of every human life. This year, Respect Life Month, is closely connected with the celebration of the Year of Saint Joseph. During this year, each of us can find in Saint Joseph, “an intercessor, a support, and a guide in times of trouble.” Saint Joseph shows us how to say “yes” to life, despite our fears and frailties. He was the true ‘miracle’ by which God saved the child Jesus and His mother.” May we, too, be ‘miracles’ in the lives of those who are in most need at the beginning of life and the end of life and everyplace in between. Saint Joseph, defender of life, pray for us.

This Blessing of Pets will take place this Sunday, October 3rd at 10:00 A.M. near the Veterans Memorial Flagpole.

The Second Collection this weekend is for the Building Maintenance Fund.
