Fr. Larry s Corner of the Bulletin Next weekend both Salesian parishes are celebrating a very special occasion - the 50th anniversary of Fr. George s ordination to the priesthood. Fr. George was ordained a priest on March 5th, 1966. We missed the exact day of his anniversary but we certainly don t want to miss celebrating the 50 years! Both parishes are working together on this. Fr. George will celebrate the 10:30 Mass at St. Rosalie next week which will be followed by a luncheon in his honor beginning at 12:00 or so in the cafetorium of St. Rosalie School. Please come out and honor this wonderful man who has spent so many years tirelessly working for the church and continues in our churches ministering to us far after most people have retired! During the last two weeks, the Gospels have been challenging our faith. The disciples asked Jesus to increase their faith. He answered that if they had faith the size if a mustard seed they could say to a mulberry tree to be uprooted and thrown in the sea and it would happen. Last week we had lepers asking Jesus to be cured and it happened because of their faith. This week Jesus urges the disciples to pray always without becoming tired. Isn t this our problem too? We pray so hard, sometimes, and it seems like Jesus isn t listening. This is a real challenge to our faith, especially when bad things happen to us. We get tired. That s why the last line of Jesus in today s Gospel is so challenging. Jesus asks but when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth? Will he find it in us? God bless!
