Reflection
“Did not God choose those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that he promised to those who love him?” JAMES 2:5
What is more important – being rich in faith or rich in possessions? Society tells us that possessions are most important. God teaches a different lesson. When we are rich in faith, we keep God first and experience true joy and peace. When we put possessions first, we soon realize we can never have enough and happiness is fleeting. When we put faith over possessions we truly realize it is better to give than receive.

Liturgical Ministry Schedule September 4 & 5
September Sign-Ups
During the month of September we’ll continue to ask Liturgical Ministers to sign up to serve weekend Masses via SignUp Genius. This is a free program that we have been using to schedule Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, Altar Servers and Greeters.
For each weekend Mass we need 1 Lector, 2 Eucharistic Ministers and 4 Altar Servers and 4 Greeters. If you are a Liturgical Minister and see an opening below for the Mass you'll be attending, and if you are comfortable serving, you can sign-up by clicking the button below. The schedules are created two weekends at a time. THANK YOU!
