May Jesus Christ who leads and guides us on our spiritual journey, be with you!

Now that parish meetings are in full swing, and parish activities are off and running, we pray for guidance of the Holy Spirit. We also must show our support for these parish activities. An active parish is a healthy parish. Keep that in mind.

I want to remind everyone of the importance of your presence at Sunday Mass, especially during the month of October. Every person who attends Sunday Mass is counted. This is at the request of the U.S. Catholic Bishops Conference. The “October Count,” is very important to all parishes. Make every effort to be in Church during the month of October, and every Sunday after that.

I have introduced a new parish theme for this year: Reflect, Renew, Respond. This theme encourages us to Reflect on the many blessings we received through our parish; Renew our commitment and responsibility to our parish; and Respond through our actions and support. Our parish is at a moment where we need to examine who we are as a member of our parish, and where we want our parish to be in the future. Take the time to Reflect, Renew, and Respond.

As always keep our parish in your prayers, and invite someone to worship with us at Mass.

Our readings for today’s Mass speaks to us about God’s invitation to His banquet. He invites us to hear His word and share in His Body and Blood at Holy Communion. His invitation is out of love and kindness. May we welcome His invitation and enjoy the abundant blessings He offers.

Peace and Blessings,
Msgr. Dr. Britto
