Thank you to everyone who has contributed egg cartons
and paper bags in good condition for our use. We
continue to need the paper bags as we use them every
week and your donations keep us from having to
purchase them. We do not need any more egg cartons
as we now have an abundance of them and no place to
store them. Watch the bulletin and we will let you know
when we need them again. Thanks for your support.
Senior Rita's Luncheon
Reflection and Prayer-The 28h Sunday in
Ordinary Time
Why do people refuse the wedding invitation?
They don’t seem to have another offer, but are
simply too busy with the usual daily tasks and
commonplace affairs to accept the hospitality of a
great king. In a wonderful twist, the king sends his
servants out with instructions to bring in everyone,
willy-nilly, to fill the house with people so the wedding banquet can continue. Everyone drawn into
the house, whether neighbor, servant, slave, or
passerby. What a wonderful image of the Church
this is: God, our King, creates community and family out of an incredibly diverse group of people. In
the famous phrase of James Joyce, “Here comes
everybody!” As we pray in the Mass, “Blessed are
those called to the supper of the Lamb.” We are
blessed indeed. Lord our God, you have called us
to the marriage-supper of the Lamb. May we come
to the feast with open hearts, clothed in Christ and
ready to do your will. We ask this through Christ
our Lord. Amen.
Stewardship Month
This weekend at all of the Masses we will be
asked to fill out a Time and Talent Commitment
card. Please look it over, and see where you
would like to donate your time and talent. There
are many opportunities both for spiritual growth
and for assistance in the many activities of our
parish family. We have some immediate needs
and everyone is needed.
