Ms Jeanne Pestana, Principal
Gospel Matthew 22:1-14
This is a story that actually happened: When a groomto-be called off the wedding, the bride decided to go
ahead with the wedding banquet. Instead of inviting
friends and relatives, she invited some homeless
people. These unlikely guests in their thrift-shop
clothes had a wonderful time. And the bride who didn't
become a bride had the joy of sharing her banquet with
them. This story is very similar to today's gospel and
the parable Jesus tells about the feast hosted by God.
The invited guests do not show up, so other guests are
gathered from the streets and invited to share the table
and the joy. Sometimes we might ignore God's
invitation.
Do we recognize that God has an invitation for us
every day? How can we receive and accept it? Have
you ever thought that other things were more
important, or that you were too busy to accept God's
invitation to Eucharist, sacraments, prayer, or doing
something pleasing to God and helpful to others?

The wedding clothes mentioned in today’s parable signify the grace of our baptism – baptism is both the gateway to the Christian life and empowers us
to live a life of grace. We have been invited to the wedding
feast, but we must respond to the call our our vocation to live a
holy life, day by day. “Many are called, few are chosen”!
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process
where men and women at all stages of their faith can come to
a non-threatening, non-pressured atmosphere to learn more
about in the Catholic Church. The RCIA is open to anyone who is
interested in learning more about the Christian faith and guides
them to know God’s forgiveness and healing grace.
If you know anyone who is interested to learn about the Catholic Church please contact the RCIA team:
