  • THIS WEEK'S CHURCH BULLETIN

    TWENTY-SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

    September 29, 2024


    THIS WEEK'S FOCUS:

    MAKING ROOM FOR GOD

         Our lives can get crammed so full—with busyness, possessions, material concerns — that there is little room or time left for God. Some housecleaning may be in order to free up some space for the Divine.

  • RECORDINGS OF OUR 2024 LENTEN PARISH MISSION

    We had three devoted women of faith who shared their gifts with us on our Lenten journey. If you were not able to make it, check out the recordings below!


    SESSION 1: "Finding and Sharing Kindness" by Kathy Arduino

    CLICK HERE FOR LIVESTREAM/RECORDING


    Do you get so caught up in the day that by the time you sit down in the evening, you wonder where all your time has gone? As a wife, mother of 2, and teacher (to name

    a couple of the hats I wear) you can imagine that this happens to me often! Many years ago, I made it my passion to find and spread kindness in my busy everyday life. The Bible has many references to spreading kindness. I hope to share ideas and stories from my life that will ignite a feeling in others to spread kindness.


    SESSION 2: "Conforming Our Hearts to Christ's Heart" by Sr. Kate O'Leary

    CLICK HERE FOR LIVESTREAM VIDEO/RECORDING


    Every Lent is an opportunity to conform our hearts to Christ's Heart, especially in The Paschal Mystery - His Passion, Death, Resurrection, and Ascension. Sr. Kate O'Leary invites you to journey into the Heart of Christ in The Eucharist - an incredible treasure of our Faith. Come to hear how we can unite our sacrifices and ourselves more closely to Him at Mass.


    Session 3: "Caregiver's Gifts" by Sr. Therese Maltby, RSM

    The person who provides care shares many gifts with her family members, friends, and patients: clinical competence, emotional support, help with ordinary tasks, etc. On any day, that giving care is also a giving up: loss of sleep, of energy, of confidence, etc. This same day may also bring many gifts to be received. Wisdom invites us to embrace the gifts received without losing sight of the loss.
