Fr. Jim's Jots ~ Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time, 9.6.2020

Fr. Jim's Jots

Special Thanks to all who helped with the Zoom Jazz Festival.  It was a great success.  Next week, we will have a financial update to share with YOU.  We need some time to listen to good music and relax.  With so much stress and troubles around, please take the time to pause and pray, play and be renewed, to see Christ present in ALL.

This weekend, we mark and pause and celebrate Labor Day.  We are also getting ready to go back to school on all levels.  It will be a challenge in the light of the COVID-19 virus, so please be safe.  We pray for all students, staff and faculty.  You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Please get ready for Religious Education and enroll your family and all children online with the form and info.  If you have any questions, please see the update below and/or contact Liz Wiznerowicz.  We need to have an update of all children for Sacramental programs and every level of Religious Ed.

We pray for all workers this year and in a special way, those workers who are keeping things going during this Virus.

O Lord, our Creator, you imposed a duty on all human beings to work together to build up the world.  Help us to develop the earth by the work of our hands and with the aid of technology, in order that it may bear fruit and become a dwelling place worthy of the whole human family..  Let us realize that we are obeying Christ's command to place ourselves at the service of others in bringing forth a more human world, through your Son Jesus Christ in the unity of the Holy Spirit.  Amen

Please take the time to thank the workers you meet this week.

Blessings,

Fr. Jim
