Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the
Universe - November 22, 2015 Today we hail Christ as
our King, the victor over the power of death. This Jesus,
who loves us and freed us from our sins by His own blood,
and who by Baptism has made us a royal nation of priests
in the service of His God and Father. He who is King,
continues to choose men and women to serve as priests,
sisters, brothers or deacons, so that the faithful may know
Him, love Him, and serve Him as well. If you feel God may
be calling you to a Church vocation, call Fr. Gary Dailey at
413-452-0811 or email: [email protected].
