May Jesus Christ who offers hope and guidance on our pilgrim journey, be with you!

August has arrived. In addition to vacations, pool clubs, and staycations, families with children will begin preparations for the new school year. This month can become a busy one. I encourage you not to forget to take a moment for God. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

Throughout the summer, everyone has been reminded to stay hydrated and cool. This weather will probably stay with us until early October. So, stay vigilant, drink plenty of water, stay cool, and relax.

On another important note, I encourage you to be extra conscious of your Church contributions. As expenses have increased in your household, so has it with our Church. Your contribution to our parish is very important to the operation and upkeep of our parish. Please give to the best of your financial ability.

Our readings for today’s Mass reminds us of Jesus’ great generosity. He saw the needs and hunger of the people in his time, and not only offered them hope, but he also fed them. Jesus fed thousands with just five loaves and two fish. As the responsorial psalm said: “The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs.” May we always give thanks to Jesus for his presence in our lives, and for his generosity to us.

Peace and Blessings,
Msgr. Dr. Britto
