May Jesus Christ who offers us hope and eternal life, be with you!

Our city continues to bustle with many events around the city. The World Soccer Cup continues, bringing many visitors to our city, and now we are preparing for the Baseball All Star game. We also have a Tea Party Bus traveling around the city. May our city continue to host events and be welcoming to all people.

Don’t forget to stay hydrated during these summer months. The temperature and humidity will rise every day. Be wise, be safe, drink plenty of fluids especially water and electrolytes.

We have all been called to be Christ disciples on a mission. May we accept His invitation with joy and enthusiasm. Invite someone to celebrate Mass with us.

Remember our parishioners and homebound parishioners in your prayers. We pray also for the parishioners who have not returned to Church.

I am calling on you to consider volunteering around the parish and join a parish ministry or organization. It is always good for the parish when parishioners participate in parish ministries.

So much social media, and perhaps private and personal issues, can be heavy upon us. Today, our Gospel tells us that Jesus invites us to come to him with our burdens, and he promises to give us rest. As we continue to be formed in the Catholic way of life, we are urged to take the words of Christ to heart and learn to turn to him more readily when we are in need.

Peace and Blessings,
Msgr. Dr. Britto
