That we are not afraid of living our Faith because of fear of being “rejected” by others.

“The stone the builders rejected has become the corner stone...” (Matthew 21:42)

Jesus was the corner stone and He was rejected by the religious and political leaders of His day, as well as ordinary citizens. Living a stewardship lifestyle may cause you to be

“rejected” by others in today’s society. For example, saying grace before a meal in a restaurant may attract

some strange looks from some. But to others it is a sign that God is alive and well!

27 Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario: 8 de Octubre

Para que no tengamos miedo de vivir nuestra fe por temor a ser rechazados por otros.

“La piedra que los constructores rechazaron se ha convertido en la piedra angular...” (Mateo 21:42)

Jesús fue la piedra angular y fue rechazado por los lideres religiosos y políticos de su época, así como por los

ciudadanos comunes. Vivir un estilo de vida de corresponsabilidad hacer que usted sea “rechazado” por

otros en la sociedad actual. Por ejemplo, dar gracias antes de una comida en un restaurante puede atraer algunas

miradas extrañas de algunos. ¡Pero para otros es signo de que Dios esta vivo y bien!

It is a lot of fun and God will greatly bless you for your sacrifice. Please prayerfully consider volunteering and call Father Joseph at the office at 713-774-7475.

ROSARY MAKERS

The Rosary Makers meet the second Wednesday

of each month at 9:30 am in the St. John meeting

room in the Family Life Center .

The next meeting is scheduled for

October 11, 2017.

All are welcome to join us.

On September 27, the Church celebrated the feast of

St. Vincent de Paul, who knew that “God had sent

him to bring good news to the poor.” Together with

your gifts, the members of the Society of St. Vincent

de Paul continue his work and mission in our parish.

The parish emergency food pantry is running low on some items.

Not only does this pantry supply much needed items for

individuals living within our parish community but is shared with

our sister parish Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church. Please

consider dropping one or more items into the baskets located in the

narthex area, right after you enter the doors of the church. Items

needed are: meal-type soups, stew, chili, canned meats, tuna,

macaroni & cheese, canned pasta like spaghetti meatballs,

ravioli & spaghetti franks, crackers, jelly, cookies, rice, ramen,

pasta sauce, juice, cereal, canned or boxed milk, shampoo,

conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant. The pantry is

small and at this time doesn’t need canned beans, fruits or

vegetables. Thank you.

We are still looking for a few more of our parish children to join our parish school family. Education wrapped in faith, family and prayer is the best gift you can give to your child and his or her future. It’s not too late! All grade levels are available.
