Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Catechetical Sunday is a time for us to pray for those who take up the important task of sharing the faith in our parish communities. This year's theme is "Open the Door of Faith," and many catechists do exactly that for the children, youth and adults who hear the good news through their teaching. Thank you to all the catechists who teach our children in both the school and CCD and to those who share their faith in our parish. Please pray for all those who are involved in opening the door of faith in our parish - their names are listed in the flyer in this bulletin.

In today's Gospel, the woman with the lost coin invited in her neighbors and the father of the prodigal son welcomed him back. These parables remind us that each of us can open the door of faith to someone through our words and actions each day.
