31st Sunday in Ordinary Time

This week's first reading from Deuteronomy beautifully emphasizes the timeless significance of the Shema prayer and encourages deep reflection on our spiritual lives. It invites us to center our hearts and minds on God, strengthening our identity as Christians and members of our faith community. Reflecting on this powerful prayer can indeed serve as a daily reminder of who we are, whom we serve, and whom we are called to love wholeheartedly.

Additionally, for those wishing to support Fr. Kennell during his time away, it’s comforting to know that notes and cards left at or mailed to the Parish Office will reach him weekly. These gestures and prayers bring him comfort and support, showing the unity and love of the community. May God’s grace be with him and all of us as we continue to grow in faith. Amen.
