Giving to God What Belongs to God

October 15, 2026
Happy 29th Sunday of Ordinary Time! "Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God." This powerful line has confounded many over the years. The crowds seek to trap Jesus by him denying God or denying political authority. How we balance authority of God with authority of the state? A great book to read on this topic is by Archbishop Chaput titled Render Unto Caesar: Serving the Nation by Living Our Catholic Beliefs in Political Life. Beginning in mid-January, Andrew Bilgri wil be doing his seminary internship semester with us similar to Dennis Trickey’s internship year. You can find Andrew’s bio in the buletin. We are excited to welcome him and have him be part of our Parish family. We have similar Parish Life opportunities coming up. We wil have Adult Faith Formation on Oct. 25, Nov. 1, and Nov. 8 after 5pm. Series wil be on Sacred Art presented by myself and Fr. Jayke. We also have a special men’s ministry opportunity coming up Oct. 24. I wil host a Cigar night for men to come together for faith and felowship around bonfire. We also have Mass of Remembrance coming on Nov. 7 at 4:30pm. At this Mass, our beloved parishioners who passed away this past year wil be remembered and prayed for. We wil start Mass with a special procession with 1 family member representative carrying a candle forward to honor their beloved family member. The procession wil take roughly 15 minutes. Worship Candlelight Adoration: Nov. 15, and Dec. 6 from 7-8pm Mass of Remembrance: Nov. 7 at 4:30pm Mass Marian Candlelight Masses: Dec 2, 9, 16, and 23 at 5:30pm Formation Adult Faith Formation Series: Oct. 25, Nov. 1, Nov. 8 after 5pm Mass.

Centennial Campaign: Pledge Weekend

October 4, 2026
Happy 27th Sunday of Ordinary Time! As I mentioned last weekend, this weekend is our Paish Pledge Weekend for Centennial Campaign. If possible, we would like to collect all pledge cards this weekend. You can drop the pledge cards in the offertory, bring them to the parish office, or mail them. We will send a few reminders via mail in October about pledge cards, but this will conclude the public phase of fundraising for the campaign. From now on, I simply plan to keep you updated on Pledges amount, money collected, and project plan. On that note, we have received over 1.2 Million in pledges as of Sept. 28. Our current plan is to execute School Window and Lintel Projects in summer of 2027, gym roof in summer of 2028, and parish center roof in summer of 2029. I also very grateful for the Annual School Fund contributions this year. We have received over $48K so far. This annual fund will greatly assist with the unexpected needs from water main leak damages and water main replacement. Work on the Water Main Replacement will begin in early October will school remaining in session.
