THANKSGIVING MASS - Nov 26th

8:30 am at OLMCC

Our deepest sympathy to Erika Lefever for the loss of her

husband, George. May he Rest In Peace.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Wishing everyone a Happy & Blessed Thanksgiving!

Dear Parishioners:

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.

Even amidst the struggles of this remarkable year of 2020, we have remained

steadfast in the certainty that Christ is our King. The unspeakable gift he offers to

us through the one sacrifice of the Cross, the gift of redemption and eternal life,

gives us the great consolation, the surety, that Christ never abandons us. We need

simply invite him into our lives. We must open the door. He is ever present in our

midst in the mystery of the Eucharistic feast we call Holy Mass, and the transcend-

ent reality of our journey toward the Triune God continues in this passing life. Fear

not brothers and sisters, for God’s throne is never unoccupied and the love he has

for humanity is certain. Even so, we must not become complacent and withdraw

into ourselves. We are a community of faith, we Christians, and we are called to

love one another, without exception, so that when the day of our particular judge-

ment comes we will be among those to whom our Lord says, “Come, you who are

blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation

of the world.” (MT 25:34) Let us be especially thankful this Thanksgiving that we

belong to Jesus Christ. I am thankful for each of you.

In Christ,

Fr. Mark Thomas
