Week's Bulletin

Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Today’s Gospel gives us a glimpse at real life among the disciples, ordinary people jockeying for places of honor in the kingdom of God. Jesus quickly points out that being his follower isn’t about achieving notoriety or special treatment, rather it is all about being a servant to others. We know that the kind of service Jesus asks for cost him his life! Are we willing to accept the cost of being his disciple, by loving and serving those who are called unlovable or undeserving? Doing so won’t win us honor or privilege in this world, but it will bring us life in the next!

ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament at Saint Christine’s Church will take place every Thursday. Mass will be celebrated at 10:00 am, followed by Adoration at 10:30 am and ending with Benediction at 6:45 pm. Come and spend some heart-to-heart time with Jesus.
