From the corner office for Jan. 21, 2024

From the Corner Office is Father Mike's weekly bulletin column.

The readings this week continue with the theme of calling as we see with Jonah and then later with Simon and Andrew. However, there is also the sense of urgency and repentance, two themes that we would expect more in a few weeks when we are upon the season of Lent. Interesting to see beyond this week’s readings and into the time of conversion and repentance. We might say that we need to continue to listen for God’s call to us, as well as taking that turn towards God. Turning towards God and taking those first few steps need to be our action as we listen.

Fr. Mike

From the Pastor’s Desk:

It seems that the winter coldness is really hitting us hard these past two weeks. The church’s heating system is being pushed well beyond its ability and the years of inattentiveness are showing up unwelcomed with bad timing. Your patience is appreciated as we work hard to correct the problem without too much of a challenge.

The Mardi Gras tickets are still available through the rectory or online at the parish website. The event is a great evening of fun, food, and fundraising. Grab some friends and join us!
