A Message from Fr. Walter

THIRTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

In the Gospel today Jesus issues a strong condemnation of religious leaders who delight in the privileges accorded to them because of their station. Their love of human accolades corrupts their actions – instead of serving the beloved of God (the poor and the weak), they “devour the houses of widows.” In our own day and within our own church community, power continues to corrupt those who are seduced by its glamour and prestige. If our intent is to follow Christ, we must keep our hearts centered on humble service of God and others and be wary of the temptations that come with positions of honor.

Eucharistic Adoration

Every Wednesday, from 7AM-6PM

The Holy Name Society will be praying the Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet from 5:30pm-6PM! 

O Come Let Us Adore Him!!

The Catechism quotes Pope John Paul II: "The Church and the world have a great need for Eucharistic worship. Jesus awaits us in this sacrament of love. Let us not refuse the time to go to meet him in adoration, in contemplation full of faith, and open to making amends for the serious offenses and crimes of the world. Let our adoration never cease." (CCC, 1380)

Consider signing up for an hour to pray

before the Blessed Sacrament. 

Adorers are always welcome to stop in and

spend time with our Lord.

Sunday Obligation

The obligation to attend Holy Mass on the Lord’s Day is a sacred one. Anyone who is frail or at risk due to advanced age or medical conditions is always excused from this obligation.

However, those who are healthy and not at great risk, the presumption of the faithful should be that, unless they are at an enhanced risk, sick, or caring for others who are at risk or sick, are obligated to attend Sunday Mass.
