Dear Friends,

We are officially at the end of our Year of Grace with this weekend’s liturgy. We are being asked to look at what has been in our lives this past year, and what, perhaps, we might like to change in the coming year.

Come; ponder all this with us this Saturday.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

This Sunday’s readings highlight the work of the Spirit as we, “come to understand,” even better, who we are, and what we are called to do in our world, following in our brother, Jesus’ footsteps.

Being that we won’t be together this week, I invite you to ponder the readings, homily, and prayers that I will supply later in the week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

This week’s readings basically ask us to “zero in” on what is most important and specifically, “words versus actions.”

Come; ponder all this with us.
