(See Today's Reading, May 13)

This weekend, our readings reflect the theme of God revealing himself to others as love.  In our first reading, we hear that God has no favorites; He blesses all who practice justice.  Our second reading is even clearer because it tells us that God is love and whoever loves is His child.  The Gospel this weekend continues this theme by reminding all the disciples of the only commandment given by the Master--Reciprocal Love.

Wednesday Chat and Coffee! 
Join us at the Rectory every Wednesday morning after Mass.
 

Church Office Hours are Wednesday - Friday, 9:00 am to noon.  Father Hank will be available in the office Wednesday and Fridays.
