9/15/24 Pastor Notes
Like most of you I assume, watching the fire this week has not been a joy. There is sadness at the losses of homes, business and the Mission. People are fearful as they have been forced to evacuate, or the thought of it. The rest of us who remain secure in our homes are called to have patience and understanding, and to look for any ways we can assist. Catholic Charities is taking any donations to assist as well.
Many of you also probably heard that Tom Dolan passed on Thursday night. So we hold his family in prayer as they mourn his loss. The Funeral will be Tuesday, sept 24th, at 11am, St. Rose of Lima.
This Thursday is a Priest Day of Recollection, a gathering of us for some prayer and thought. It will be led by Archbishop Thomas of Las Vegas. Fr. Boby and myself will be attend (St. Robs in Fernley).
I will be asking some parents to become part of our Baptism Preparation Team. I am looking for experienced parents to help form new parents on the important meaning of baptism and prepare them for the responsibility of raising their child in the faith. Baptism itself is THE Sacrament by which we formally enter into a community of believers. It is an action of participation and one that we must not take for granted, nor enter into lightly. So if you receive an invitation in the coming weeks, please know that you have been recognized as parents living out that responsibility.
Coming to Mass
The term "Christ" means "The anointed". "Jesus the anointed one" is what Jesus Christ means, at least that is the definition. What Jesus the Anointed one means for us as a Church and as person has much more depth; one which we are meant to explore through contemplation, prayer and study.
A good app to have for this prep is MyParishApp. All the readings are there, as well as messages from the parish, homilies and dates.
Fr. Bob's Homilies can be found HERE.
