“May your life be fruitful.” Years ago, these words were solemnly and sincerely spoken to me. In our own way, each of us receives this same blessing.

Jesus, in telling the parable of the barren fig tree, teaches us something important. As gardener, he takes an active role in our lives, promising to rework and renew the soil. Gardeners know these unglamorous tasks are essential for producing abundant fruit. Jesus lovingly commits himself to the troubles and trials of our lives.

PARISH NEWS AND EVENTS
A Message from Bishop McGrattan:
Together in Action (TIA) reflects the Church’s preferential option for the poor and its missionary impulse. It embraces charity and justice, service and sacrifice so that our proclamation of the gospel is authentic and joyful. As the blessed children in the family of God, it is inherent that we are the hands and feet of Christ here on earth. Therefore, let’s care for the poor and those in need among us for the common good and dignity of every person. I invite you to please give generously to this year’s TIA Campaign. Our Together in Action donations to date are $2,203.25. Our Together in Action Goal for 2019 is $15,331.
