Hello, Friend,

There’s a quiet beauty to midsummer, isn’t there? The golden sunlight reminds us to slow down and notice the good things around us. This Sunday, Jesus uses the parables of the buried treasure and the pearl of great price to ask us a simple question: What are we truly searching for? As we soak up the midsummer warmth this week, it’s a wonderful moment to reflect on what we value most – and how joyfully we respond when we recognize God’s presence right in front of us.

May God grant your prayers and desires this week and beyond. Please let the parish staff know how we can serve you!

God bless ~ Frs. Mark & Asirvadam, and your parish

It here, Christmas in July is tomorrow in the Activity center.

BOUNTIFUL BLESSINGS

Even in the height of midsummer, the life and joy of our parish family continues to bloom. We are overjoyed to welcome new souls into the Kingdom of God through the Holy Sacrament of Baptism, and to celebrate the sacred union of couples joined in Holy Matrimony.

God’s grace is actively at work among us in every season and we extend our heartfelt prayers and warmest congratulations to those who have recently received these beautiful Sacraments.

The St Scholastica Knifty Knitters & Crocheters is a quiet, powerful testament to the impact of hands-on service. Every piece crafted by our group is woven with love, wrapped in prayer, and given to bring hope, healing, and warmth to members of our congregation and local community. We are deeply grateful for the caring hands that make this ministry possible! The Knifty Knitters welcome anyone interested in sharing their time, skill, or desire to learn! Look for their next meeting in the calendar of our bulletin.

Also, should you wish to pick up a prayer shall made with love and prayer for yourself, a family member or friend, please stop in the parish office.
