Feast of Christ the King

November 26, 2023

FATHER JIM'S JOTS

Greetings!

This Sunday we welcome Msgr. Walter Barrett as I am in Michigan and will return this Friday.  This Sunday, the Feast of Christ the King, marks the last Sunday of the liturgical year.  Next week we celebrate the First Sunday of Advent.  Please consider joining us on December 16th for a parish retreat, led by Sr. Anns James, from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.  We will have a Communal Reconciliation Service afterwards.  You do not need to attend the retreat to attend reconciliation.  We will have several priests here to hear confessions.  All are welcome!  More information on the December retreat will be shared in next week's bulletin.

I thank Msgr. Walter Barrett for celebrating Sunday Mass and our Deacon Chris Barrett who will conduct Communion Services on Wed., Nov. 29th and Fri., Dec. 1st, at 12 noon.

As it is the first Friday of December, we will have an hour of Exposition and Adoration on Dec. 1st.  All are welcome.

Prayer for Christ the King Sunday

Lord, Jesus Christ, Our Sovereign King.  The beginning and end of all things, You have made your Church to be a people that bears witness to the goodness and beauty of your kingdom.  By your Holy Spirit, You have united us as one body, called to live as one family of God.  Fill our hearts with your grace, that we would be close to You by being close to the vulnerable and marginalized.  Give us the patience to share one another's burdens.  And give us the courage to always be friends of the truth.  May we remain with You always. Amen.

Greetings,

Fr. Jim
