Baptism Baptisms are celebrated on various Sundays throughout the year at 1:15 p.m. You are encouraged to register for the baptism BEFORE YOUR CHILD IS BORN, so that it is easier to attend the required Baptism Preparation Class.

Information about Godparents is available on the website.

Anointing of the Sick We encourage all those eligible for this Sacrament to be anointed after the Noon Mass on the first Sunday of the month or by calling the Center. Those eligible are those who are about to undergo an operation; are suffering from serious illness and the condition has worsened; or are enduring the weakening effects of advancing age and it has been one year since they were last anointed.

First Reading: The prophet’s message offers hope to a frightened people. God will come to save them. What marvelous healing will take place when God comes: the blind will see, the deaf will hear, the lame will leap and the mute will sing! Nature will reflect God’s coming, too, as life-giving waters will appear in deserts and grasslands, on dry ground and within burning sands.
Responsorial Psalm 146 resounds with praise for God who comes in our midst, echoing Isaiah’s words that the Lord will give sight to the blind. Indeed, the Lord will raise all the downtrodden.
Second Reading: Favoritism has no place in Christian assemblies. Our attention should go equally to the rich and the poor, for human distinctions matter not in God’s community. In fact, James reminds his beloved brothers and sisters in faith that God chose the poor to acquire the riches of faith and inherit God’s Kingdom.
Gospel: Jesus fulfills Isaiah’s words and heals a deaf man with a speech impediment. In Jesus, the deaf hear and the mute speak! Jesus opens our lives to the gift of salvation he offers. Time after time, he astonishes us like he did the crowds centuries ago. Will we proclaim him as they did?

Bulletin Reflection
The good steward must not show favoritism. The rich may have many material gifts to share, but St. James reminds us in the second reading that God has chosen the world’s poor to be rich in faith and inheritors of God’s kingdom.
Living Stewardship We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish who show Christ’s compassion and mercy by supporting and ministering in homeless shelters and soup kitchens.
