2nd Sunday of Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners,

Ordinary Time has begun. It will last until we begin Lent on Ash Wednesday, which is February 17th. Today’s Gospel features Jesus calling His first disciples. The invitation is welcoming and intriguing: “Come, and you will see.” How are we called by the Lord? The Lord has called us all here today on this Sunday in the middle of January and so we have come together to listen to God’s word and to receive our Lord in the Eucharist. How is the Lord speaking to us today?

January 18-25 is the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. The theme this year is “Abide in my love…you shall bear much fruit” (John 15-1- 17).

First Reconciliation will be on Saturday, January 30th. Please keep our second graders in your prayer as they prepare to experience Jesus’ healing forgiveness in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Have a Blessed Week!
