by Cardinal Cushing in 1958, has members serving in Peru and Ecuador. Each year a few of their members come north

to spread the word about their work and to appeal for donations. Please be as generous as your means allow. For

more information on the Society of St. James visit their website at www.socstjames.com. Thank you for your support!

Events September 18th at 8:30 am and 10:30 am–

Commissioning of all Religious Education Catechists September 18th at 5:30 pm-Mandatory meeting for all 9th

Grade Parents at St. Thomas Aquinas Hall

The Gospel this week brings to mind the fact that all of

humanity is in need of repentance. Christ came to save the

sinners, and to call all people to Himself. As I teach our 2nd

Graders preparing for their 1st Reconciliation, there is

nothing to be afraid of in seeking forgiveness and going to

confession! We are all imperfect people, and we all make

many mistakes during this life. What brings rejoicing and glad

tidings to those in heaven is when we admit that we need help

and need to be saved, and we come to the Church, and to a

priest who is in the image of Christ, to confess our sins and

receive absolution. If we were already perfect there would

have been no need for Christ to die on the cross for our

salvation. If we are like lost sheep that have gone astray, than

“the Lord is our shepherd, we shall not want. He makes us lie

down in green pastures, to still waters he leads us. He restores

our souls.” (Psalm 23) Let us seek this week to have the

childlike innocence of those receiving 1st Reconciliation, and

have the courage and conviction to live lives centered around

Jesus Christ. May God bless you this week!

- Brian Kirby
