Readings for the Week
Mass will once again be held with some restrictions listed under Important Information on this page.
29th Sunday in Ordinary Time:
This year's ADA theme is Know, Love, and Serve God.
How do we know God? We come to know God through our participation in the life of the church.
How do we love God? An easy way to to demonstrate our love for God is supporting the Annual Diocesan Appeal. By supporting the outreach services the ADA funds, we love God by loving our neighbor. We don't have to work in the food kitchen ourselves, but by providing these services, they become our hands and feet showing practical ways in which we love God.
How do we serve God? Service in our local Parish. We serve God in each other. If we serve our Parish, if we contribute to those Church related activities that exist to help those in need; we in fact are Serving God through our Service to our brothers and sisters.
October is the month of the Rosary. Please join us to pray this powerful prayer together at 3:30 pm Saturday and 8:10am on Sundays. All are welcome.
"Show me the coin that pays the census tax." Then they handed him the Roman coin. He said to them, "Whose image is this and whose inscription?" They relied, "Caesar's." At that he said to them, "Then pay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God " -Matthew 22:19-21.
First Reading: Isaiah 45:1-6.
Psalm: Psalms 96:1-10.
Second Reading: First Thessalonians 1:1-5.
Gospel: Matthew 22:15-21.

It is WORLD MISSION SUNDAY this Sunday! Please see the Bulletin for more information! We celebrate this day by remembering our baptismal call-to bring the Gospel to all! The collection today for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith supports the work and witness of the Mission Church, as it provides for priests, religious and lay leaders who offer the Lord's mercy and concrete help to the most vunerable communities in the Pope's missions. Thank you for your generosity.
Annual Diocesan Appeal : The theme this year is to "Know, Love, and Serve God." This past week you should have received a mailing from the Diocese and from the Parish. Included in the Parish Mailing is everything necessary to help with your contribution to this year's ADA. Thank you to everyone who made a pledge to ADA last week. Please remember no gift is too small and we are trying to reach 100% participation! Please return your pledge card even if you cannot make a pledge this year. If you did not receive a pledge card and envelope, please call the Parish office and we will get one to you. Every dollar raised over our goal will be returned to us to help with our own Parish projects. To date, we have received $25,490 toward our goal of $27,526!
