A Word From George Kashmar

Fellow Parishioners,

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. This day concludes the Liturgical year and next week we begin the season of Advent. Today’s celebration is very important as we recognize Jesus as King unlike any other. Kings normally sit on a throne, are served and catered to each moment of their lives. Jesus is a King who serves. He brings about the good news of God into the world, he lifts up the lowly, he provides for those who hunger and thirst, he brings hope and light to a world that lives in darkness and for this we must be thankful.  

This weekend we celebrate the 2nd Annual Thanksgiving Awards presented to a person from each commission who serves our parish with love, fidelity and compassion just like Jesus. The individuals are featured in the link below. Next Thursday we also will celebrate Thanksgiving, a time for us to gather with family and friends to focus on the gifts we have been given. We should take time away from our normal day-to-day activities to relax and reflect on our lives and give thanks to God for all the blessings he has bestowed on each of us. 
   
As you go about your week, please be aware of God’s presence among us and give him thanks for being the King of the Universe and thank all of those people who serve our parish tirelessly.

Always, in Christ,

Deacon George Kashmar
