Homily Highlight | 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Deacon Dick Gaietto

How can we change our approach toward others, and confront one another lovingly as the readings this weekend have taught us?

09/07/2026

As we celebrate Labor Day, let us take a moment to recognize the dignity of every worker and the many ways their efforts help families, communities, and our church flourish. May we always value the work of every person, seek justice for all laborers, and give thanks for the opportunity to serve God through our daily work.

Our offices are closed today - will be back tomorrow at 8am.

LIVE THE LITURGY - INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK

Christ tells us that “where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Our faith compels us to be in community with one another. No one should be a Christian alone. How can you draw closer to others who love Christ?

Let's make it a great week, Parish Family! 💚✝

It's the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time - Let's prepare for the weekend

We will hear in the readings :
1️⃣ But if you warn the wicked, trying to turn him from his way, and he refuses to turn from his way, he shall die for his guilt, but you shall save yourself. (Ez 33:9)
🎵 If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts. (Ps 95)
2️⃣ Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. (Rom 13:8)

It was wonderful to get together again for our annual Parish Picnic last Sunday! It's the perfect way to end summer together - outdoor Mass, sharing a meal together and building the excitement of all the things the next season in the year will bring.

A huge thank you again to all who helped plan the event, especially to the Bolte family for allowing us to use their beautiful venue! John and Sarah also generously donated back the 50/50 winnings to the Parish.

Pictures are still rolling in from the day! Check them out with the link below. Did you capture any of the fun? Upload yours to the shared album here: https://share.picturesqr.com/wwoqhm/

First Fridays devotion is a beautiful and simple way to honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It’s a powerful way to receive spiritual graces, draw nearer to Jesus, and console His Heart with your prayers and devotion. It’s an invitation to enter more deeply into God’s love and to respond with faith, hope, and love.

So, why not start this month? Join us tomorrow at St. Marys!
