A thought for your consideration
We are blest to be a parish of multiple ethnicities. This is something we need to be reminded of from time to time. We were blest recently to have 3 young people (2 from Ukraine) use their musical talents during our Sunday mass. They added to the sense of celebration. There is such a wealth of untapped spiritual and cultural creativity among us. How can we bring out and celebrate these treasures in the liturgy and social life of our parish?
