Jesus forgives the woman her sins after she anointed His feet. He tells her not to sin anymore. The gospel reminds us of all we do in life and how to look at life with an open mind and to forgive those around us.
This weekend, June 12 & 13, Sister Margaret Holleran will speak at all Masses for her community and the Columbian sisters. This is our annual Mission Co-op appeal. Please be generous in the second collection.
With summer approaching and vacation, let us not forget our Sunday obligation to attend Mass. Find a church nearby where you can attend. God does not take a vacation, we should not forget Him.

Sharing our Blessings: An Opportunity for Growth. This fall you will hear and read more about a new program taking place in parishes throughout the diocese. This program, Sharing our Blessings, is an opportunity for all of us to work together to address the most pressing needs in our parish through an increased giving campaign. Our hope is to increase our weekly offertory collections by at least 25%. Sharing our blessings is a program about sacrifice, about giving back to God and about strengthening the future of our faith community. Please be on the lookout for more information about this initiative, which will begin after Labor Day.
