What’s Really Happening at Mass? – A Message Series

Beginning Sunday, Aug 4, Fr. Ken will begin presenting a series of homilies called “What’s Really Happening at Mass?” The following Monday, Fr. Ken will continue the conversation with a faith sharing session with whoever would like to join us at 7:00 PM in the large dining room in the Notre Dame Church rectory.
 
Week 1 will be titled “Preparing for Encounter: The Introductory Rites”. This is a great opportunity to learn what we either have never been taught or what we have forgotten about the majesty, mystery, and symbolism which exists in the Mass. When we fully understand what is happening at the Mass we will truly experience the inexhaustible mystery of the Holy Mass.

Please join us and bring a friend.
If you couldn’t make the Mass Fr. Ken preached you can listen to his homily on this website.

The Harvest is Abundant

Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

” The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few", this is as true even more now than it was two thousand years ago when Jesus first said it to his disciples. In a world where we are to keep God to ourselves and in our churches, the harvest of non-believers continues to grow, and like any fruit that is left in the field, it will soon rot. If we keep the laborers out of the field, we will lose the harvest.

It is never too late to begin harvesting. As the old adage goes "How do you eat an elephant?" "One bite at a time." So should we harvest the non-believers, those who no longer attend Mass, those with various chips on their shoulders against the Catholic Church, we should bring them back one person at a time. This is needed now more than ever.

Where are those who need "harvesting"? Look around, it could be the co-worker who is struggling with an addiction. It might be one of your extended family who is going through a divorce. It could be someone who is despondent and in need of some encouragement, take time to look around, the harvest is everywhere.
