Grace and blessings to you!

This time of the year is a joyful one. students from colleges, high schools, grade schools and other academic institutions celebrate graduations. We congratulate them on their accomplishments and ask God’s blessings on their next journey in life. Special recognition to all our parish students who graduated this year.

I want to encourage everyone to remain steadfast in their devotion and religious obligations to our Sunday worship. It is important for us to celebrate Mass on Sundays and receive Jesus Christ in Holy Communion. You can also add weekday morning Mass to your spiritual devotion.

Now that our summer months have arrived, there is the probability of outside activities. Please add to your prayer intentions, safe streets and an enjoyable time for everyone. We pray for safe streets during all special events taking place in our city, especially the World Soccer; All Star Baseball, the 250th Anniversary of our country, family events, and Odunde Festival.

As always, please keep our parish and parishioners in your prayers, especially our homebound and those struggling with their faith. We are all called to be Christ Disciples on a Mission. Join me in sharing Christ with others.

Our readings for today’s Mass reminds us of Christ charge to his disciples. Christ sent his disciples forth to seek out the lost sheep, the lonely, abandoned, and confused. May we hear Christ calling us to proclaim him in speech and action.

Peace and Blessings,
Msgr. Dr. Britto
