18th Sunday of Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners;

            Each time we come to Mass, whether it’s the weekend to fulfill our obligation, the week day, we are nourished by the Word of God and by the Eucharistic meal.  The people in today’s readings need nourishment as well, both physically and spiritually.  In the Gospel of John, Jesus reveals himself as the Bread of Life, the source of everlasting sustenance.  Since our hunger can always be satisfied in Jesus, we turn to him for nourishment.

            The second collection this weekend is for the Building/Maintenance Fund.  I ask for your continued support of this collection, so we can continue the maintenance of our beautiful aging buildings.

            Summer vacation is over!  School starts this week.  St. Peter School begins on Tuesday, August 7 ^th. 

            Wednesday, August 15^th is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a holyday of obligation.  The Vigil Mass will be on Tuesday, August 14 ^th at 5:00 P.M.  The Masses on August 15 ^th will be at 6:30 A.M., 10:00 A.M. (school Mass—parishioners are invited to attend) and 7:00 P.M.

            Have a Blessed Week!
