“No slave can serve two masters: for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other.  You cannot serve God and wealth”.  Each of us has to continue to look at the lives we lead.  Do we give priority to the things of God or are we constantly concerned about ourselves?

Next week is “Sign-up Sunday” we need you to help with a variety of Parish projects and ministries...Altar servers, Children’s Liturgy, St. Martha’s set-up & hospitality,chairrs, readers, etc.

‘Catholicism 201' begins this Tuesday at 6:15 p.m. with a meal.  Sign-up was complete.  See you there.
