Transfiguration of the Lord

Dear Parishioners,

There is a ‘break” from the usual Sundays in Ordinary Time today. August 6 th is the Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord. It is a major feast, so when it falls on a Sunday, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Transfiguration. In Scripture’s symbolic language, mountains aren’t just places; they are experiences that put us closer to God. The Apostles, Peter, James, and John had a unique experience on top of the mountain; they experienced Jesus being transfigured before their eyes. Transfiguration promises that within our ordinary lives is the life changing presence of God, if only we listen for it.

The second collection this weekend is for the Building Maintenance Fund.

Next week our parish will take up The Catholic Relief Services Collection. Funds from this collection provide food to the hungry, support displaced refugees, and bring Christ’s love and mercy to vulnerable people here and abroad.

Next Sunday, August 13th is the monthly Msgr. Eyraud Knights of Columbus dinner. Beginning this month, you will have the option of pick up or dine in.

Have a Blessed Summer Week!
