Please remember in your prayers, Father Desmond as he celebrated his Anniversary this past week to the priesthood. Thank you, for you service to our Lord! And for being here with us as our priest. We are blessed to have you here with us!
Father Jonathan also celebrated his service as a priest on July 23rd. If you would like to wish him a Happy Anniversary, his email is in our parish directory. He would love to hear from you. He is missed and we hope and pray that someday soon he will be back with us!! Father is still asking for prayers.
The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant … who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.’
This week, we pray to live each day with the wisdom to know what truly matters, and to let go of anything that holds us back. ‘Lord, help us to share the joy of following you, wherever and however we can.’
