26th Sunday in Ordinary Time  – September 28th 2025
Today is Priesthood Sunday. It is a day to reflect upon and affirm the role of the priesthood in the life of the Church as a central one. To pray for all our current Priests and also those discerning a call to this vocation.
In the Gospel today, complacency is the rich man’s undoing.   For he did not even see the need before him at his own front door.
Let us pause and pray today for the ability to see beyond the distractions of what we possess, to recognize our brothers and sisters in need, and to act on that recognition.
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.
