Readings for the Week
Mass will once again be held with some restrictions listed under Important Information on this page.
25th 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.
First Reading: Isaiah 55:6-9.
Psalm: Psalms 145:2-18.
Second Reading: Phillipians 1:20-27.
Gospel: Matthew 20:1-16.
