    Baptisms are usually celebrated on the first and third Sunday of each month following the 11:00 AM Mass.

    Baptismal classes are usually held on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM in the Parish Center. Registered parishioners wishing to have their child baptized should call the Parish Office, and, at that time, basic information will be asked and the dates will be given for the Baptism class. First-time parents MUST attend this preparation class before the Baptism of the child. It is recommended that this class be taken after the birth of the child.

    Godparents and Confirmation Sponsors must be at least 14 years of age, have received the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation, must attend Mass regularly and, if married, their marriage must be recognized by the Catholic Church. These requirements are the universal law of the Church, and are not determined by the individual parish. If the person you choose as godparent or sponsor fulfills these requirements, they are asked to furnish a statement from their Parish that they are indeed eligible to be a sponsor. A father or mother may not act as sponsor for their own child.

    All requests for Sponsor Eligibility Letters are to be made well in advance of the reception of the Sacrament and will be issued in Church after any weekend Mass by Monsignor Lawler, Fr. Jim Tucker, or one of our Deacons.

    Every family moving into the parish should register by obtaining a census form from either the priest or deacon after any weekend Mass (in Church). Registration is required for all parish services and sponsor eligibility forms. Sunday worship on a regular basis is the sign of a practicing Catholic. Any young adult 21 years of age or older living at home should register in the parish separately.

    TWENTY-NINTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

    First Reading: Exodus 17:8-13 Amalek and his people attacked the Israelites, so Moses instructed Joshua to lead some of the Israelites into battle the next day. While Moses kept his hands raised in prayer, the Israelites were winning. But when he put his hands down, they would begin to lose. So two others helped him keep his hands raised, and Joshua and the Israelites won the battle.

    Second Reading: 2 Timothy 3:14-4:2 Paul tells Timothy that the Scriptures are inspired by God and are an excellent tool in teaching others about God's expectations of his people. Knowledge of the Scriptures, coupled with faith in Jesus, will lead many people to salvation. Paul urges Timothy to continue preaching the gospel, although this will sometimes be a difficult task.

    Gospel: Luke 18:1-8 Jesus speaks about a corrupt judge who lacked respect for either God or man. A widow repeatedly asked him to settle a case in her favor. He finally settled the case, only because he grew weary of listening to her requests. Jesus points out that if even this corrupt judge eventually listened, then God, who is just, will certainly answer the pleas of his people.
