2 Dear Parishioners, In the Gospel reading of this Sunday Jesus gives us the parable of the seed that grows by itself and the mustard seed that grows into a large bush. Both parables are about the kingdom of God, that grows gradually and slowly, eventually producing a great harvest. These parables were meant to encourage the early church. They were meant to tell the early Christians that they should not be discouraged by the slow growth of the Church. Often people wonder why God is not acting quickly, why terrible things happen in the world, why the kingdom of God is so slow in uprooting evil from the earth. Like the seed that grows slowly, God s word and his kingdom grow and spread gradually until they bring out a great harvest. Yours Sincerely, Fr. Jose Shaji, Pastor SUMMER PANCAKE BREAKFAST JUNE 24TH-FOLLOWING THE 8:00AM & 10:00AM MASSES Everyone is welcome to come to Centennial Hall and enjoy pancakes, our special summer blueberry pancakes, sausage (or bacon), juice, coffee and wonderful fellowship.

On Tuesday, June 26th, at 7:00 pm, in Centennial Hall, Fr. Eagan will be giving a program on Ross Douthat s controversial new book on Pope Francis: To Change the Church: Pope Francis and the Future of Catholicism. Douthat is critical of the Pope, and has gone so far as to suggest Pope Francis may cause a schism in the Church between liberal and conservative wings. This should make for a lively discussion.
