Among other things, our Gospel this weekend addresses the topic of distractions to the Christian life, things that divide our commitment to Christ, and those things that get in the way of us being heaven bound. Implied in this account, if not already abundantly clear, is our need to change, to get serious about embracing the motivations of Jesus, to have hope, and to persevere in our walk with Christ.

The Challenge of Marriage in Today's Society
This program is for couples with marital problems that want marriage help. Those who are considering marriage separation and those who are already separated or divorced are encouraged to consider the Retrouvaille Program. There is always hope of reviving your relationship.
It is for couples with marriages that are struggling, not communicating well, and those who are considering marriage separation or divorce. It is also for those who are already separated or divorced that want marriage help. Some couples come to Retrouvaille during the initial signs of a marriage problem. Other couples are in a state of despair and hopelessness when they attend the program. Some couples have been married for many years, while others have been married only a short time and encountered trouble.

It will be an opportunity to pray for all the faithful departed, those who have recently died, and those who are from among our families, friends, and fellow parishioners who have preceded us into eternity. We will pray for the repose of their souls and reflect on the mystery of eternity with prayer, Scripture readings and song. All are welcome.
On the second floor of the Pre-K building, some repairs and renovations were recently done. One of the results is that we now have a brand new conference room, available for use by our ministry groups of up to twenty people.
At a recent staff meeting the room was blessed and named the "Keller Conference Room," designated after our founding Pastor, Father Michael Keller. The room is currently being decorated by Father Pham and his Arts and Environment Committee. For the use of the conference room for ministry gatherings, please contact Fabiola Adriano our Master Calendar Coordinator at the church front office.
Priesthood Sunday seeks to reaffirm the priesthood of Jesus Christ and its central place in the life of the Church.
This day also specifically honors priests, without whom the Holy Sacraments could not be conferred, for a single day out of the 365 days of the year during which they tirelessly serve their parishes. Celebrate and thank a priest today!
