May Jesus Christ, who promises grace and salvation, be with you!

We have come to the end of the month of August. Schools have resumed for another year of learning and growth. Vacations have ended and the blessings and perhaps challenges of life await us. We keep turning to Jesus, our guide and protector to journey with us during these next several months.

In the next several weeks, I will offer the State of the Parish Address. It will include Parish Status and finances. Look to our parish bulletin for the date of the presentation.

Beginning this coming month, parish meetings will resume, more parish activities are planned. I ask you to support, participate, and pray for everything taking place at our parish.

I ask you to pray for our parish and our parishioners who have not returned to Church. I also encourage you to invite someone to worship with us at our parish. We are all called to be disciples for Christ and our parish. Remember, we are on a mission.

Our readings for today’s Mass can be challenging to hear. We are to take up our cross and follow Jesus. For some, we are carrying a cross and for others they are avoiding it as much as they can. But we are reminded that we are not alone for Jesus is with us as we carry that cross. May we ask for the strength and courage to bear the cross we may have to carry.

Peace and Blessings,
Msgr. Dr. Britto
