MISSION STATEMENT
“We reach out to all through prayer and service, as we live our
Catholic faith in Christ with Mary”
The Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time
A Note from Fr. Mike
St. Paul tells the Thessalonians that the Gospel did
not come to them in word alone, but also in power
and in the Holy Spirit. This means that living the
Gospel is not simply listening to the readings and
homily at Mass, or going to catechism class, but also
includes recognizing the presence of Christ in our
lives, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide and animate
us, letting the grace and power of God flow through
us. In other words, we must put what we learn into
action each and every day, living our faith, being
authentic about what we say we believe. In doing
this we are able to give to Caesar what is his, and to
God what is his, our very selves.
Peace, Fr. Mike

Scriptural Reflection
28th Sunday in Ordinary Time
October 26 2014
“Whoever sacrifices to any god, save to the Lord
only, shall be utterly destroyed.” EXODUS 22:20
Do you put other “gods” before God? Is your love
of money, power, status or some personal possession
greater than your love for God? If so, you may want
to pay attention to the scripture reading because you
are not going to like the outcome. The good news —
it’s not too late to put God first in your life.
