Reflection:
“Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father."
These words from today’s Gospel remind us of our call to shine—not only as individual disciples, but also as the faith communities of Most Precious Blood and St. Theresa Parishes.
There are many ways to let that light shine. One of the most important is to recognize and celebrate what makes each parish unique. When we understand our strengths and identity, we can build on them and allow the light of Christ to shine even more brightly through our ministries.
As part of our Strategic Plan, I want to hear from you about what makes each parish special. Your insights will be gathered and incorporated into the strategic planning process.
Our two parishes, each with their own unique gifts, working together—now that is a true recipe for a shining light.
Parish News:
This past Sunday, we welcomed three surrounding churches for a joint high school Mass and youth event at Most Precious Blood, and it was fantastic. A prime example of the Holy Spirit at work.
In speaking of God’s work, we had a most successful first annual Italian Night at St. Theresa’s this past Friday. It was terrific, and a big thanks to all who led and made it happen!
And of course…GO PATS!
