The Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ
according to Saint John 13:31-35
When he had gone out, Jesus said, ‘Now the Son of Man
has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify
him in himself and will glorify him at once.
Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will
look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you,
"Where I am going, you cannot come."
I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.
Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.’
Parish Reception for Father Simon
You are cordially invited to an open reception to bid
Fr. Simon farewell and recognize him for his service
to our parish community.
A light brunch will be served immediately after the Liturgy
on Sunday, May 20, 2018 in the Church Hall.
