Dear Friends,

The Church calendar names the Assumption of our mother and sister, Mary into heaven as this Sunday’s liturgy. Because this is a “somewhat” made-up doctrine, not followed nor observed by all Christian churches and often tied to her, “supposed” Immaculate Conception, as a result, go a long way in taking her, humanity from her–because if she was, “without sin” then she was hardly human, and if so, what can we say of our brother, Jesus?

Come; let us take a new look at Mary, our mother, sister and friend as we share readings from this feast and the 20th in Ordinary Time.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
