8 August 2021 Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

From the Desk of the Pastor...

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The Gospel reading for Mass this Sunday continues Saint John’s reflection on Jesus as the Bread of Life. Unlike our ancestors who ate manna in the desert and died, all who eat this bread will live forever. The “sanctifying grace” that we receive in Holy Communion

incorporates us into the Life of Heaven. Thus, ordinary human beings may become

extraordinary saints for the Kingdom of God.

In the letter to the Ephesians we are warned that we are not to grieve the Holy Spirit that we have received in the sacrament of Baptism. We must be kind to one another, full of

compassion and love. All bitterness, fury, anger, and malice are to be removed from our community, our family, our hearts. We are to be imitators of Jesus Christ. This is a message that all of us need to put into daily practice.

The work on the Church continues to go forward. The electrical work is almost completed and then we can move forward with the painting of the interior walls and the ceiling.

Let us continue to pray for one another.

In Christ,

Fr. Thomas

Backpack and School Supplies Collection: Aug. 21-22, 2021

Our school supply collection is back!

Once again we are asking for your support as we assist low-income families in providing

their children with the tools they need as they head back to school. Purchasing school

supplies can be very difficult for these families and your donations really do make a differ-

ence.

In addition to backpacks, we are collecting spiral notebooks, marbled composition note-

books, glue sticks, black/blue ballpoint pens, #2 pencils, crayons, pink erasers, rulers, multi

-pocket folders, pencil pouches, highlighters, facial tissues, colored markers, etc.

Members of SVdP will be at a table in the parking lot at all the masses Aug. 21-22 to accept

your donations.

As always, thank you for helping us to help others.
