Was their marriage just an arrangement, a deal? Did his wife, after all these years, ever love him? Does she still? We need to know if our loving commitments stick. We need to be reminded and reaffirmed. In the first reading, Joshua, Moses successor, needed to know if the people would remain faithful to their covenant with the Lord. Joshua was going to lead them to a new life a settled life. Would they be faithful? Jesus, who identified himself as the very life of his disciples life, needed to know: Will you also go away or will you stay? We do not often see Jesus this vulnerable. Peter and the apostles chose to stay. What will we do? Visitation If you are unable to attend Mass for a period of time and would like to receive communion, please call Bill Handy at 776-6089.

Christ himself prayed them, as did our Blessed Mother. These sacred hymns become our heartfelt response to God s loving and wondrous deeds for us. Their words captivate the imagination and draw us into a deeply personal encounter with God. Join Jeff Cavins, Sarah Christmyer, and Dr. Tim Gray as they show you how to establish a deeply personal dialogue with God t h r o u g h t h e P s a l m s.

Our CCD students are the big winners. We received all the needed supplies, and we were able to get the electric pencil sharpeners with the cash donations. It's a great start to this school year! Oops, we made a big mistake. Back in June at the Father's Day breakfast, one of our prize winners did not get a prize. The gift card fell out of the paper sleeve and all this father got was an empty sleeve. I'm sure he is being polite by not letting us know. But please, we have your prize. If you would please contact Jean at wojo50@att.net, we would be more than happy to fix our mistake.
