“I add my voice to all the voices raised in these hours to express indignant condemnation, and I
strongly reiterate that the ways of violence will never lead to genuine solutions to humanity’s problems.”

Society of St. James who will give us some insight into the state of the missions in South America. The Society, founded
by Cardinal Cushing in 1958, has members serving in Peru and Ecuador. Each year a few of their members come north
to spread the word about their work and to appeal for donations. Please be as generous as your means allow. For
more information on the Society of St. James visit their website at www.socstjames.com. Thank you for your support!
Note from the Pastor If you need to contact me, please feel free to send an email to [email protected] or call me at the parish office. I

Events September 18th at 8:30 am and 10:30 am–
Commissioning of all Religious Education Catechists September 18th at 5:30 pm-Mandatory meeting for all 9th
Grade Parents at St. Thomas Aquinas Hall
The Gospel this week brings to mind the fact that all of
humanity is in need of repentance. Christ came to save the
sinners, and to call all people to Himself. As I teach our 2nd
Graders preparing for their 1st Reconciliation, there is
nothing to be afraid of in seeking forgiveness and going to
confession! We are all imperfect people, and we all make
many mistakes during this life. What brings rejoicing and glad
tidings to those in heaven is when we admit that we need help
and need to be saved, and we come to the Church, and to a
priest who is in the image of Christ, to confess our sins and
receive absolution. If we were already perfect there would
have been no need for Christ to die on the cross for our
salvation. If we are like lost sheep that have gone astray, than
“the Lord is our shepherd, we shall not want. He makes us lie
down in green pastures, to still waters he leads us. He restores
our souls.” (Psalm 23) Let us seek this week to have the
childlike innocence of those receiving 1st Reconciliation, and
have the courage and conviction to live lives centered around
Jesus Christ. May God bless you this week!
