3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, known as Sunday of the Word of God

Dear Parishioners,

Today, we celebrate the Sunday of the Word of God, recognizing the centrality of God’s word in the life of the Church. On September 30, 2019, the memorial of St. Jerome, Pope Francis announced that the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time would be celebrated as the Sunday of the Word of God. I invite and encourage everyone to take a few minutes today to begin reading the Bible.

Ordinary Time began last Sunday, and will continue until the Eighth Sunday, after which it is suspended for the Lenten and Easter seasons. The Liturgical color for Ordinary Time is green—the color of hope. Many an artist will tell you that hope does not have any colors. However, nature does! The green color of nature assures us of growth, and new life, which certainly gives us hope.

The second collection today is for the new airconditioning unit. We are almost finished paying for the unit.

Have a Blessed Week!
