St. Faustina Weekly Update
Happy Friday! It was wonderful seeing so many families on campus this week between Masses and the Faith Formation Book Pick Up on Wednesday. We have really enjoyed seeing so many from our parish family back at Church. As we move into the weekend, we remind you to please make a reservation to attend Mass early, especially with our Masses now regularly hitting our 25% capacity! Please use our Eventbrite Link to make your reservation. Beginning this weekend, we are adding the 9am to our weekend streaming options that also include our 11am and 1pm Masses. Like the other Masses, you'll be able to stream it on our Facebook Page and our YouTube Channel as well. In addition, we invite you to tune into our live-streams early on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy before the Mass begins. We hope and pray you have a wonderful weekend!
Reflection on Sunday's Readings
In the parable of the workers in the vineyard, we are confronted with what we might consider an unfair situation. The owner of the vineyard goes out and hires workers, starting in the early morning and ending close to sundown. But no matter what time of day the workers are hired, all get the same daily wage, even if they only worked for one hour. Most of us probably will think how very unfair it was that some had to labor all day and others got to waltz in at the last minute, but everyone got the same reward. In fact, the characters in the parable felt the same way and most likely so did Jesus’ audience. Enjoy this reflection through our free account with Formed.org.
1st Reading - Isaiah 55:6-9
