OUR SACRIFICIAL RETURNS TO THE LORD
When will I have given enough – of my income, of my time, of my talents? Today”s Gospel suggests that only total stewardship will do: “When you have done all you have been commanded to do, say ‘We are useless servants. We have done no more than our duty.’”

PARISH NEWS

***YOUTH- NCYC ***
In one month, 12 of our high school youth, as well as our Pastor, Fr. Bruce, 2
adult chaperones, and 1 young adult, will be heading to Columbus, Ohio for the
National Catholic Youth Conference. The NCYC is the largest Catholic youth
gathering in the U.S., with up to 25,000 young people and adult chaperones
attending from all over the country. The theme for this year’s conference is
“Discover the Way”, and the following scripture passage provides the basis for
this theme. “Where I am going, you know the way.” Thomas said to him, “Master,
we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him,
“I am the way and the truth and the life…” (John 14:4-6a) As we prepare for this
pilgrimage of faith, I ask that as a parish, you keep all of us in your
prayers. I encourage each of you to consider writing notes of prayer and
inspirational thoughts to the youth for distribution while at the NCYC. Such an
effort not only reminds youth that they are loved, but also promotes the
importance of community. If you wish to send a note, please place in an envelope
with the youth’s name on it and label as NCYC, and then place in the collection
basket. These will be collected and distributed at the conference. The
following is a list of those attending the conference:
Amber Ballard, Mary Ballard, Jake Brookshire, Travis Cartwright, Bradley Englert,
Kelly Kneer, Ashley Miller, Alana Miller, Heather Studzinski, Johanna Studzinski,
Jared Thweatt, Patrick Hatton, Eric Darnell, Janice Darnell, Paula Englert, &
Fr. Bruce McCarty.
