November 1, 2015 All Saints Day See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him. He began to teach them, saying: Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. - Mark 10:46-52 WELCOME TO ST.

We are not alone in our efforts to create something new. Now is the time to embrace and support our Diocesan church for, in the words of Pope Francis, the real newness is the newness which God himself mysteriously brings about and inspires, provokes, guides and accompanies in a thousand ways.
