Fr. Bob’s Corner

Last week Parish Alive (second reading of Sunday Mass) reminded us that we are all God’s temple throgh the sacrificial death and Resurrection of Jesus. As we journey through life as Christians we are literally ’sacredness’ in the midst of the world. Just as, physcally speaking, the temple of old was in Jerusalem, or our beautiful churches are today. Indeed, we are light to the world. What an awesome, yet humbling thought! Of course, we need to accept this invitation of faith, and do our best to be faithful christians.

I have been a little under the weather in the last few weeks, and have not posted very much. This weekend we will be celebrating the First Sunday of Lent and the Second Sunday of Parish Alive. Our Ash Wenesday celebration was very well attended, and most of the Parishioners at both Parishes are participating in the Diocesan Parish Alive Project. Very gratifying and inspiring - I hope and pray for an abundant harvest - so many seeds being planted! We owe a word of thanks to our Bishop, the Pastors, the Diocesan team, and our PLT’s across the Diocese for all their hard work in initiating and organizing this project. And , a special word of thanks to all the parishioners of St. Mary’s and St. William’s who have committed themselves to this faith venture. May the Lord bless us now, and in the years to come, with a renewed, committed, and strengthened Faith.
