From the Pastor’s Desk…. We walk by Faith and not by Sight (2 Cor 5:7) God wants us to learn to walk by faith. Walking by faith involves knowing, believing and obeying our Lord and seeking always to do the right thing. It means to be changed and transformed from the love of sin to the love of God. Paul reminds us that we must build our lives around that which has eternal significance. Jesus has shown us the way. Walking by faith means honoring God more than any human being, choosing righteousness over sin, no matter what the cost, and believing in and trust-ing God’s divine Mercy. In the Gospel, Jesus teaches us through the parables, that no one can stop the kingdom of God from growing. It reminds us that even our smallest and simplest word, deed, or gesture can be the good ground for God’s kingdom to grow. We only sow the seed but it is the Lord who causes the growth. God grants the increase. The seeds of the kingdom of God are being sown when parents teach their children to make the sign of the Cross or catechists teach their students about the importance of the Church and the Sacraments in our lives and when each of us place ourselves at the service of God and God’s people. As the family of St. Nick’s we are called to grow into more lov-ing, and Christ-like persons and to plant and sow the seeds of faith in our neighborhood. I thank all of you who have shared in the many and varied gather-ings and ministries which nurture and grow this community of faith. It is those such as you who cause our Parish Family to grow and bear witness. We offer a special word of Congratulations to the Class of 2015! St. Nick’s graduation took place this past Friday, June 12th. May the graduates and their families continue to celebrate this milestone with joy and may God bless them always. Dear parents, thank you for your trust, sacrifice and encouragement. You have given your sons and daughters a great start as they begin to grow into adulthood. Dear Graduates, we are proud and happy for you as you move on to High School! Remember the words of Pope Francis: “Young people! The Church needs you. Don’t be afraid of Christ.” Continue to be part of the SNT family because we need you and love you. A special thank you to Mr. Robert Lowenberg, Mrs. Monica Gonzalez and all our teachers, catechists and staff, as our Parish School and Par-ish Religious Education Programs come to a close for the summer. Your shar-ing of your gifts and talents are a blessing to us all. God bless you, Fr. John Francis
