25th Sunday in Ordinary Time  – September 21st 2025
Today we celebrate Catechetical Sunday.   Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays by our Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel; to our families, our community, in our stewardship, and the world.
For the past several weeks, we have been hearing about the cost of discipleship. Today, Jesus guides us in how to put our lives and talents into good service for Him.
How trustworthy are we with what the Master, God our Father, has given us?
Where do we place our gifts, talents, and treasures in our lives?
Who or what do we serve?
Jesus tells us that we must decide because we “cannot serve both God and mammon.”
Please join the us right after Mass in our Chapel, as they will be praying the Holy Rosary for Suicide Prevention and Awareness.  Rosaries are available if needed.
Thank you to the Knight’s for the generous charitable matching contribution of $50,000 to the parish and to our Parishioners for there continued generosity.
