Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

June 28, 2026

FATHER JIM'S JOTS

Greetings,

Today we welcome Msgr. Walter Barrett once again while I am away in Michigan until Friday.  I am enjoying getting to see my family, spending time in the great outdoors and catching up with old friends; but I truly miss my Saint Elizabeth's family.  Because of my absence, we will not be having weekday Mass this week.

Today is the last day to submit your photos and information for the 2026 Parish Directory.  Please either use the camera app on your mobile phone to scan the QR code or fill out the form and drop in the directory's mailbox.  Additionally, if you have submitted your photo but didn't fill out an information card, please email your information to the office email (office@stelizcc.org).

This Sunday's Gospel touches on discipleship and what it truly means to be a disciple of God.  It shows that though it might not always be easy, in the end, our reward will be great spiritually and in Heaven.

"Lord, help me to become a better disciple.  Help me to follow you and your teachings, even when it's hard and there are other forces trying to pull me away.  Help me to guide others in my life to discipleship; and I pray that my heart will always be open to your works and mirror yours. Amen."

Blessings,

Fr. Jim, Pastor
