The Kingdom of God is like a mustard seed, which springs up and becomes the largest of plants, like a tender shoot from the cedar which will bear fruit and become a majestic cedar. So shall the just one flourish, like a cedar. As we walk by faith and not by sight, may our lives bear fruit in abundance.

Hello All, This weekend we are called to celebrate fathers and we have been blessed with only having to look to St. Joseph, the patron saint of fathers, in gratitude and for inspiration. From the moment Mary told him about the child that would enter the world, this man’s first response was one of care and compassion. He decided not to denounce Mary, not to punish her, but to act in a way that did not hurl her and her child into turmoil as outcasts. Later, when the Angel of God visited him and he understood his part in God’s plan, he was an obedient servant, caring for mother and child, creating as safe and stable a life as possible. He found the strength of character to withstand whatever gossip and accusations must have accompanied the news of this baby. And later following Jesus’ birth he had the courage to lead his family to safety in Egypt avoiding Herod and his plan for the child that would save the world. What an incredible role model we have to hold as an example of what we are called to be not only as fathers, but as faithful people. God’s Blessings, Molly Wisdom

ATTENTION: MIDDLE SCHOOL & HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS please consider being an Elementary Retreat Leader!

Of Eye Strain and Scripture: Our parish makes good use of the projectors in the sanctuary to project to the Responsorial Psalm refrain, but this technology has its limitations. Since I started here, many people have told me that they just can’t make out the words if they are more than a few pews back. Unfortunately, the images are as large as I can make them because the projectors are fixed to the ceiling. A parishioner, Justine Madalinski, approached me with a creative solution: to print the psalm refrain in the bulletin! The same license that we hold to project

the music on the wall also covers printing it in the bulletin. I hope this helps meditation and participation in the Word of God in our Sunday Masses.
