Season of Creation

Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

September 24, 2023

FATHER JIM'S JOTS

Greetings!!

As a parish community, it has been a delight to celebrate the "Season of Creation."  Special thanks to Sister Anns for introducing us to this Global and Ecumenical call to action to care for our common home.

We are Blessed to have our Gospel Choir celebrate today at 4 p.m. with a reception to follow.  "Still Praising, 45 Years of Lifting Our Voices Through Song."  As a parish, the Gospel Choir has been a hallmark of St. Elizabeth's and in many ways, the glue that has helped us pray and be united as a community.

 We want to thank Kim Ford, Scott Stell, Diane Neylan, Mary Ann Allen, Peggy Beverly, Katrinia Bledsoe, Phillip I. Brew, Jr., Beverley Bryant, Erika Campos, Aimerance Fariala, Gloria Johnson, Astrid Jones, Jessica L'Heureux, Tim Kaine, Marie Masse', Bill Pearlingi, Carolyn Pearlingi, Joshuah Pursley, Mary Romanello, Jacob Saunders, Lucy Thompson, Peter Thompson, Yao Thompson, Mary Walker, Mone' Walker-Williams, Merceider Williams, Steve Wiley, Larry Williford, Eva Wiznerowicz, James Wiznerowicz, Cliff Wright, and Stacy Wright.

Please join us today starting at 4 p.m. for what is going to be a wonderful Choir Concert and a delicious reception.

Next Sunday, we are asking all children to dress up as bumble bees, fish, bugs, butterflies, etc.  All families with children, we ask that you please arrive early so that you can receive face paint before the 10 a.m. Mass.  As this is the closeout of the "Season of Creation" and to celebrate the feast day of St. Francis... please remember to bring a picture of your pets too and put them on the window sills for a special callout and blessing of all creatures.

Blessings,

Fr. Jim
