Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time 08 25 19

In today’s Gospel (Lk 13:22-30), Jesus is asked, “Lord, will only a few people be saved?” He doesn’t answer the question directly, but offers three images: a narrow gate, a locked door, and a great banquet. From them we can draw some practical conclusions.

Salvation isn’t first come first served; even if you camped out all night, people from the end of the line might be allowed in ahead of you. And it doesn’t matter who you know. Privilege, whether inherited, earned, or invented is pretty much worthless. People you never thought had a shot at salvation will be sitting in the good seats, and there will be a lot more of them than you ever imagined. So, it’s a mistake to sit back and assume you’re in.

RELIGIOUS FORMATION VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Religious Formation is looking for catechist volunteers in all grades as follows:
4th Grade - 1 Catechist; 2 Assistants
5th Grade - 1 Assistant
6th Grade - 2 Catechists; 3 Assistants
7th Grade - 1 Catechist

We are in need of catechist and catechist assistants for Grades 1-9 for the fall 2019-20 school year.  Catechists are those who let the Word of God echo through their lives and teaching.  They do more than simply “teach” religion; they share their faith and help young people learn how to apply and live their faith in their daily lives.  Our Religious Formation program cannot succeed without the participation and dedication from volunteers like you. All lesson plans are provided.  If you hear God’s call inviting you to this very special ministry, please contact us. (973) 895-4224
