Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time:

Every worthwhile gift, every genuine benefit, comes from above, says St. James in the second reading. But, he reminds us, true worship of God involves using those good gifts to benefit the less fortunate. Good stewardship is not optional; it is the hallmark of our faith!

Vigésimo Segundo Domingo en el Tiempo Ordinario:

“Todo regalo de valor, todo beneficio genuino viene de arriba,” dice San Santiago en la segunda lectura. Pero, nos recuerda, que la verdadera adoración a Dios implica utilizar esos buenos regalos para beneficiar a los menos afortunados. ¡La buena administración de los bienes de Dios no es opcional, es el sello de nuestra fe!

We are in the process of creating a Parish Guidebook & Directory. This book will be the Who, What, Where, When, Why and How of our parish organizations and ministries. The book is being provided at no cost to the church, including the mailing to each family, and is being subsidized by local businesses that advertise in it. If you own or manage a business and would like to find out about advertising in our directory, please call the Parish Office at 433-2777 ext. 146. Recent survey results by Guide Book Publishing show that 92.1% of families would rather patronize a Guide Book & Directory advertiser over a non-advertiser.

Unfortunately, we apologize that each group needs to be limited to 10 participants, as that is the maximum to allow for adequate sharing. Only those who have registered with the Faith Formation Office and who have purchased their text at that office by Sept. 5 will be admitted. Text can be purchased at time of registration for $13.00. First come, first serve. For more information call the Faith Formation Office at 433-2777 ext. 118.
