Mass Intentions
The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the highest
form of prayer and the most efficacious prayer
we can offer for our loved ones, living/
deceased. Call the Parish Office to schedule a
Mass for your family and friends.
If you would like to reserve a weekend for Altar
Flowers in honor/memory
of a loved one or an anniversary, please contact the parish office
to schedule.
“The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children then heirs, heirs of God and joint
heirs with Christ…” - Romans 8:16-17
If we are heirs to the kingdom of God, shouldn’t we work to
build up His kingdom? Shouldn’t we be good stewards of our
inheritance, using our time, talent and treasure to care for the
Church that God has left to us? Our Church is a treasured heirloom from God. Do we treat it that way?

Question of the Week
Is my prayer formal and formulaic only,
or personal and intimate as Jesus with
his Abba? How might I recover or
deepen, the warmth of a peaceful relationship with God?
?

As Harry Leslie Smith says, “we are on a journey, from the
moment we are born until the day we die. The final stage in
our lives should be treated like all the other episodes in our
brief existence – as an adventure filled with discovery, joy,
wonder, sorrow and bliss.” Where can you experience this all
at once? Only at Golden Days Retirement Community! But
not all is peaceful when murder, mystery, kittens & puppies,
poker players and adventurers rule the roost. Come and see
the zany lives of the residents as they live out their Golden
years! This is a show and dinner that all ages will enjoy and
it’s kid friendly!
