"God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

(Philippians 2: 9-11)

Pastor's Weekly Message:

 

EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
August 1, 2010

          We need to be seeking that which is really important in life. Following the Lord and seeking the kingdom of heaven is what is really important. Everything else needs to be secondary to that goal. Keeping a proper perspective is a challenge, but it is eternal life. Pray and seek the kingdom of God above all things and everything else will follow.

                                                              Msgr. Bob Lawrence

EASTER WATER OR HOLY WATER - It is customary and it is encouraged to bring a container to church in order to take some Easter water to bless your homes and to bless yourselves. The holy water reminds us of our baptism when we were made children of God. This sacramental, and all sacramentals, are important for us in our faith journey. During the Easter season the holy water container will remain in the sanctuary.
