28th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners,

As we move to the end of another liturgical year, our Scripture readings begin to speak to us about the end times. Full of hope and encouragement, they are meant to spur us on to faithful Gospel living no matter what befalls us in this life. The prophet Isaiah tells of the great banquet the Lord will prepare for His people at the end of time. In the Gospel, Jesus once again teaches us by way of a parable, comparing the kingdom of heaven to another special feast—the king’s wedding feast.

The First Reconciliation Parent Meeting will be on Monday, October 12 th at 7:00 P.M. in church.

The Rite of Naming for our high school Confirmation candidates will take place on Sunday, October 18th at the 11:00 A.M. Mass. Please keep our candidates in your prayers. They will participate in a virtual retreat immediately following Mass. Confirmation is scheduled for Monday, November 2 nd at 7:00 P.M.

Next Sunday, October 25 th , we will celebrate World Mission Sunday. Pope Francis invites the entire Church to support mission dioceses in Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands, and parts of Latin America and Europe, where priests, religious, and lay leaders serve the world’s most vulnerable communities. Please keep the Pope’s missions in your prayers and be generous in next week’s collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith.

Have a Blessed Week!
