RCIA Elect and Candidates…will finally celebrate the Easter Sacraments of Initiation

Joyfully we announce the celebration of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist for the Elect and Candidates of our RCIA.

They will receive the Sacraments of Initiation on Saturday, August 15 at the 5 pm Mass. Please be aware this Mass will be similar to the Easter Vigil and it will be longer than a normal Saturday evening Mass.  We will upload this Mass onto our YouTube channel as well.

Please continue to hold our Elect and Candidates in your prayers as they prepare to become fully initiated Christians.  

Stewardship Reflection for this Sunday

“He said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus.” (Matthew 14:29)
When you hear Jesus calling, do you respond immediately and trust that He knows what He’s doing? If so, you are walking on water! When we say “yes” to Jesus, we feel the power of His presence in our lives. We can feel the freedom it gives us! Listen to how Jesus is calling you to live the extraordinary life He has intended for you.

Stewardship Reflection for this Sunday

Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

“Jesus said to them,‘There is no need for them to go away; give them some food yourselves’.” (Matthew 14:16)
This is what Jesus said right before he fed the five thousand men. How often do we really place our trust in Jesus when the situation looks grim? With Jesus, no gift is too small or insignificant when offered with love. But, we have to do our part. We should trust that Jesus will provide all that we need. We need to believe that Jesus has a better plan in store for us.

Stewardship Reflection for this Sunday

Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

“We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28)
Do you really trust God? Do you really believe that God will provide all that you need? Faith is a challenge for everyone at times. Putting our trust in God, in everything we do, in good times and in bad, means that God’s plan for our lives may be quite different than what we planned. When one door closes, another one opens. Trust in God, His plan is always better.
