33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
One message that is clear in today’s gospel is that our state of readiness to meet the Lord depends on the type of life we lead.
Our future happiness is shaped out of our present efforts to turn to God and live properly.
The Gospel gives us encouragement by announcing that God is on our side and longs for us to be saved.

Sunday Missals
Due to the revised edition of the lectionary and changes made to readings, it has been decided to supply Sunday Missals in the pews and seats of the church and school. It is hoped that the additional cost of these missals will be made up by giving an extra $5.00 in your Initial envelope for 2011.
If you want your own copy of the Sunday Missal you may purchase them at $5.00 each.

Things were going pretty well when suddenly she began to shout,
“Shouldn’t, couldn’t, wouldn’t, didn’t can’t”
