~ Week of October 18, 2020 ~

Dear Friends,

Saint Paul, when he writes to the Thessalonian community, encourages them to persevere calling to mind their “work of faith,” their “labor of love,” and their “endurance in hope.” He speaks to us as well. The days and weeks continue to go by during this time of the pandemic. The ebb and flow of life seems somehow “off.” Our desire for communion and community is heightened as we continue to face precautions and restrictions. In the midst of all this, Christ Jesus is present. He is the one who will lead us forward to a better place. Faith, hope and love help us to hear His voice and to respond to His call.

Today is Mission Sunday. Around the world all parishes are praying for and supporting the missions. Normally we would have a guest homilist or speaker on the mission activity of the Church, which you so generously support. However, due to the pandemic, no speakers were assigned this year. Please be generous to the missions as the work of the universal Church continues to proclaim the Gospel of love through charity and service to the poor throughout the world.

God bless,
Monsignor Prior
