THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY! CAPITAL CAMPAIGN Thanks to a couple in our parish, our $3,911 loan balance is now “paid in full.” As a parish family, we are truly grateful to them for their generosity. As you may remember, the original $84,000 loan enabled us to purchase 5+ acres of land adjacent to the Church for future growth. We ask that any remaining pledges be fulfilled and those funds will be deposited in our building fund for future use!!
STEWARDSHIP NOTES The first son in today’s Gospel said he would do his father’s bidding, but did not. The second son balked at first, but then repented and did as he was asked.

You may also use a pew envelope to add or remove names or call Kathy at 487-9894. We would also like to include the names of any active duty military for whom you would like us to pray. Next weekend, October 4th & 5th, we celebrate as a Church Respect Life Sunday. This year’s theme, Each Of Us Is A Masterpiece of God’s Creation, reflects the mission of Pope Francis, who has captivated the world with his humility and compassion. The Church’s antidote to an individualism which threatens the respect for human dignity is community and solidarity. Are we moved by the suffering of those without shelter? Do we seek to alleviate the fear, confusion and panic that women facing unexpected pregnancies may be experiencing? Do our hearts ache for elderly patients in nursing homes who feel abandoned and unwanted, having no one to visit them?
