"Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me.” 
                                                                                                                   -Mark 9:37a

The weekend of September 29 and 30 Masses we will offer the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.  This wonderful, grace-filled Sacrament is an opportunity for us to lift those up in our community who are suffering physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  Because so many people in our community are affected by illness, the Church offers this Sacrament.  We lay hands on them and call upon the Holy Spirit to be with them.  We anoint the forehead and hands with Holy Oil in a spirit of prayer and petition to God for healing and/or acceptance of the suffering they endure. While our hope would be healing, sometimes the healing is a peace and acceptance of a chronic or terminal diagnosis.  This can be very powerful!  It is also an opportunity for us as a community of faith to lift up to the Lord those who are suffering, and ask intercessory prayers for those who are ill.  We invite anyone who is facing surgery, anyone with a chronic illness, cancer, serious mental/emotional illness or addiction, is elderly, or has a spiritual struggle, to come for this Sacrament.

Join Fr. Tim Roth for a Sunday Scripture Reflection on Tuesdays at 9AM in Meeting Room #1 (located in the church gathering space). Come and experience the living Word of God speak to you in the context of your daily life.

The Committee on Pro-Life Activities is initiating a Novena for the Legal Protection of Human Life.
