VOLUNTEERS
NEEDED SOONER THAN LATER
I
need volunteers for the following:
First Confession and First
Communion Meetings –. I need people to prepare the refreshments at
all meetings. The ideal situation is to have a team who could take turns,
making the work easier for all. Many thanks to our new volunteer. We still need
3 or 4 more.
Confirmation –
I am looking for a confirmation coordinator who can oversee the program. I also
need help with registration in Jan. 2017 and facilitators who can help at 4
classes, taking our students through the confirmation manual, Anointed for
Mission.
Please

THE PARABLE THIS SUNDAY
This
parable presents both an opportunity and a warning. Pride leads to
self-deception and spiritual blindness. True humility helps us to see ourselves
as we really are in God's eyes and it inclines us to seek God's help and mercy.
God dwells with the humble of heart who recognize their own sinfulness and who
acknowledge God's mercy and saving grace.. God cannot hear us if we boast in
ourselves and despise others. Do we humbly seek God's mercy and do we show
mercy to others, especially those we find difficult to love and to forgive? A
great question for us to ponder.
I wish you all a good week,
Fr.
Phil
