Together in Faith: So Martha and Mary sent a message to Jesus, “Lord, he whom you love is ill.” John 11:3

We are not at all surprised to read that Martha and Mary asked Jesus’ help for their sick brother Lazarus. We too often ask Jesus’ help when we or a loved one needs assistance. And we should not be surprised to realize that sometimes we are the ones sent by Jesus to provide assistance. Let’s be aware of these opportunities to offer care and compassion to someone in need.

Bishop's Committee Parishioner Liaison: Every week there will be an assigned member of the Bishop's Committee to serve as a Parishioner Liaison. We encourage parishioners to seek out this assigned member whenever there is a suggestion, question or concern. The liaisons will bring all comments to the monthly meeting of the Bishop's Committee to be addressed as appropriate. This week’s Parishioner Liaison is Mayra Alvarado.
