14th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Jesus says in the Gospel that the harvest is abundant

but the laborers are few. Our church today is in need of more laborers as well. While we listen to these sacred scriptures, it might be well to reflect on Jesus’ instructions to his disciples and imagine

ourselves among the first evangelizers. What lessons might we learn for our mission today?

We need someone to do a monthly reconciliation of our checking

accounts. Sharon and Msgr. Pashley write all of the checks but it is a

good practice to have someone else reconcile. We have several

accounts but one is our main account with the most activity.

We also have an accountant but paying a CPA to reconcile is a waste

of money. Give us a call if you are interested.

Within limits, you can set your own schedule.

With praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God the

Order of Canons Regular of Premontre at

Daylesford Abbey invites you to the Ordination to

the Priesthood of our brother and deacon, Rev.

Canon A. Gerard Jordan, O. Praem., to be

conferred by His Excellency, The Most Reverend

Michael J. Fitzgerald, Auxiliary Bishop of

Philadelphia, Saturday, July 9th, at 10:00 AM.

First Mass of Thanksgiving, Sunday,

July 10th, at 10:30 AM. The Most Reverend

Joseph N. Perry, Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago,

Homilist. Both events are being held at

Daylesford Abbey, 220 South Valley Road, Paoli,

PA 19301.
