St. Faustina Weekly Update
Happy Friday! We are excited to see so many of our families returning to our weekend Masses, and we want to remind you that it is important to make a reservation as we are hitting our 25% limit at most of our weekend Masses. Please use our Eventbrite Link to make your reservation. This weekend, we will also be distributing empty bags to be filled with goods and brought back to the parish next weekend for our ongoing food distributions. As things continue to open back up, we have more changes taking place at the parish. Please take a look at our new Reconciliation times below. We hope you have a wonderful and safe Labor Day weekend!
Reflection on Sunday's Readings
One of the great spiritual truths is that forgiveness is as much for ourselves as it is for the other person. If we do not forgive, we hold that person in bondage to their sin. And we hold ourselves in bondage both to the sin and the sinner as well. Enjoy this reflection through our free account with Formed.org.
1st Reading - Ezekiel 33:7-9
2nd Reading - Romans 13:8-10
Gospel - Matthew 18:15-20
We feel so much compassion for those affected by Hurricane Laura, especially those that have connections to our parishioners. If you have a family member or friend that has been affected by the storm, please let us know by visiting our website. We would like to better assess the needs of our parishioner's relatives so that we can respond with intentionality. We are looking at other initiatives to support this effort, and in the meanwhile we ask for your continued prayers for the recovery efforts taking place there.
Thank you to those who made our Food Distribution on Thursday another great success! If you are interested in helping us out this month, please visit our Signup Genius and look for a slot that works with your schedule.
As a reminder, we will be distributing bags after each of the masses this weekend for our parishioners who would like to collect and donate items to be used with future Food Distributions!
