Week of June 13, 2021

Dear Friends,

Jesus uses the image of a seed planted in the ground to illustrate the Kingdom of God. When a small seed is planted, it begins to grow. We cannot see the growth minute-by-minute or even day to day but it grows. With time, it becomes apparent. In fact, if a large amount of time passes we might check on the seed and find a great plant. Jesus says this is how it is with the Kingdom of God. God’s plan is regularly unfolding in our lives. He works all the time. The growth in our lives may be slow but it is constant. He then urges us to have faith and trust in God.

Congratulations to all the schoolchildren of the parish as they completed another year of their education. Special thanks to all our OLG parents, faculty and staff for all they did in this most unusual year. Enjoy the summer!

Thanks to Denise Lewis and Val Gillespie for their dedicated years of service to the school – 14 and 21 respectively. Both are retiring at the end of the month. Our prayers go with you with thanks and appreciation.

Congratulations also to all our high school and college graduates. You are in our prayers as you move on to the next stage.

You may have noticed that the air conditioning is working again in the Church. Fortunately, we can get some more time with this system before having to replace it.

God bless,
Monsignor Prior
