Reminder for the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time, August 21, 2022

Isaiah 66:   They shall bring all your brothers and sisters from all the nations as an offering to the Lord …

Hebrews 12:  So strengthen your drooping hands and your weak knees.  Make straight paths for your feet, that what is lame may not be disjointed but healed.

Luke 13:  For behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.

    Romeos, Welcome!    Jason's Deli, 1:00, Friday. May 28.  Required: vaccines, mask for entrance & departure. 

     

    All of you who attended Mass this past Sunday are welcomed this Sunday.  We were circa 35 people.   Another 10 would fit in comfortably.  It seemed safe enough and time for us to take off our masks this Sunday.  It was exhilarating!  Feedback?  One head's up: be conservative on hugging for the Sign of Peace.  Not everybody is ready yet for hugs.
