Dear Friends,

We continue on in Ordinary Time this week thinking about being “good ground” in which God plants “a Word” that can yield “a fruitful harvest.”

Come; ponder this with us on Sunday!

Peace and love,

Dear Friends,

As we celebrate 250 years this weekend attempting a “democratic state,” let us be open to the words of Jesus and the prophets calling us to peace, justice, and mercy in dealing with each other.

Come; be with us this week!

Pastor Kathy

• A call for more involvement: I am looking for a few more couples, or singles to help with doing Catholic Worker meals. At present, 5 individuals are covering these meals doing one 4x a year. Over the years, 10 or more, we had three groups each doing a meal 4x a year, but people have needed to drop off due to age and health concerns. If we could get several new people, we may be able to form a second group, or just give the regulars a break. Let me know if you are able to help with this much-needed ministry of our parish. Additionally, we have found that when a couple signs up, one can cook, and one can deliver…(:
