Ministry Highlights
First Saturday Recap 💛
What a joyful morning together at our First Saturday Family Formation!
Our 3rd graders and up kicked off the day by bringing canned goods for the parish food pantry—a beautiful act of service that set the tone for the morning. They wrapped things up with an epic game of kickball that had everyone cheering!
Our 2nd graders reviewed the 5 steps to a good confession — think, sorry, reconcile (reconciliation), confession, and penance — and practiced the Act of Contrition. They were also introduced to the Examination of Conscience through the 10 Commandments and the story of Suzie’s Dragon.
Meanwhile, our toddlers through 1st graders enjoyed a joyful morning of play and fellowship in the Upper Room while parents gathered to listen to Fr. Cambre’s inspiring talk on the Domestic Church — a reminder that faith begins and flourishes in the home.
Grateful for another beautiful Saturday of prayer, learning, and community!
Join us next month for First Saturday on November 1st, All Saints Day - more details to come!
Parish News & Notes
Weekly Reflection
We often find ourselves crying out, “How long, Lord?”—wondering why the brokenness, injustice, and suffering around us persist. In the book of Habakkuk, we hear that same cry: the prophet laments seeing “violence, contention, discord” and wonders why God seems silent. But God’s response comes gently and firmly: “Write the vision, make it plain … though it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come.”
That promise—to wait in faith for God’s fulfillment—echoes in the Gospel when the disciples ask, “Increase our faith.” Jesus doesn’t scold their smallness; rather, He points to a mustard seed: humility and trust, however small, carry power.
And Paul’s exhortation to Timothy reminds us: the Spirit within us is not of fear but of power, love, and self-control. We are entrusted with a “rich trust” (that is, the Gospel, the faith) to guard and live out—even amid suffering.
So these readings draw us into a deeper posture: to live in tension between prophetic complaint and patient trust; to nurture even the tiniest faith; to accept the cost of following Christ while guarding the treasure of the Gospel.
Faith is not always grand. Sometimes it’s quiet endurance, doing what is right when there is no immediate relief, trusting that God’s vision will come. Investing in small acts of faithfulness—listening to the oppressed, speaking truth when it’s hard, offering mercy when judgment seems natural—strengthens us for the journey.
This week, lean into what seems small: speak kindly in a difficult conversation, extend help where it’s inconvenient, open your heart to someone you’ve avoided. Let these seemingly tiny choices become seeds of deeper faith—and trust God’s promise will not fail.
