We are keeping our priests and deacons close in prayer this week as they gather for their annual Emmaus Clergy Convocation. We are grateful for their faithful service to our Catholic community. We pray this time will fill their hearts with a burning love and the restorative peace of Christ. 🙏✝

Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time ✝
Would others know that you are Catholic by the way you act and speak? Do you share your Catholic faith with others? Do you defend your Catholic faith when the situation arises or do you remain silent? Do you pray in public before meals? Pray for the strength and courage to be a joyful witness of our Catholic faith when the opportunity presents itself. Let us become the radiant light and bold witness that we are called to be!

Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time ✝

Many of us take our lives for granted. We think we have plenty of time to “repent.” Maybe we should live with a little more urgency in making things right with God. This is the difference in living our discipleship out of obligation versus out of love. Obligation implies we do the minimum required. Love implies we want a relationship. God wants us to be with Him in Heaven forever, but He also wants to be in relationship with us right now, while we are on earth. Start this second – invite the Lord into your heart.

We will work with you to plan your FOREVER Gift ✝ ❤
Directing your end-of-life gift to an endowment offers you a way to fund a cause you believe in FOREVER. Permanent gifts can bring you peace of mind. ☺️

By partnering with the Catholic Foundation, you join others in supporting the organizations and ministries that have shaped our souls and strengthened our faith. Endowments generate annual grants to provide funding that makes a difference now and for future generations. ✝

A variety of gift planning options enable donors to provide for both their families and their favorite Catholic causes, while enjoying tax and income benefits. The Foundation works with donors and their financial advisors to customize endowment gifts for use specifically as the donor intends.

Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus ❤

🙏Pope Leo XIV's Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus 🙏

Lord, I come to your tender heart today, to you who have words that set my heart ablaze, to you who pour out compassion on the little ones and the poor, on those who suffer, and on all human miseries.
I desire to know you more, to contemplate you in the Gospel, to be with you and learn from you and from the charity with which you allowed yourself to be touched by all forms of poverty.
You showed us the Father’s love by loving us without measure with your divine and human heart.
Grant all your children the grace of encountering you.
Change, shape, and transform our plans, so that we seek only you in every circumstance: in prayer, in work, in encounters, and in our daily routine.
From this encounter, send us out on mission, a mission of compassion for the world in which you are the source from which all consolation flows.
Amen. 🙏❤🙏✝

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ
As disciples of Jesus, we are called to lead holy lives and invite others to join us. We are called to be fed and to feed others. Living a stewardship lifestyle, being grateful and generous with our gifts, serves a twofold purpose. One, it helps build God’s kingdom here on earth. Two, it helps us strengthen each other’s relationship with God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. It becomes our roadmap to Heaven. Let’s help each other get there!
