The Pastor's Desk

Twenty-Eight Sunday Year C.

Theme: The One who Heals the Leper is Now Among Us.

Why do we take pride in the good deeds we do? Why do we feel superior and greater than others and despise them? Because we forget that we are lepers that have been healed by the word of Jesus.

The gospel tells us that the first to understand this truth were those that the Jews considered heretics. The first reading also shows us a leper, Naaman, who was even a foreigner. He is healed to the body and in the spirt by his encounter with the man sent by God. The second reading gives us the example of Paul. He was well aware that he had been a ‘leper’. Christ had saved him and enabled him to bear everything for the sake of the gospel. We the members of one parish family, let us heal one another by rendering mercy and love.

Thank you all, Thank you!!!

I would like to thank you all who helped in preparing for the visit of our Bishop, Alfred A Schlert, on Sunday August 3, 2025 at Our Lady of Lourdes church in Weatherly. Bishop expressed his sincere thanks for wonderful reception and all the presents given to him. Brothers and sisters, this was made possible by your willingness to share your time, talents, and resources as together we continue to build our family of All Saints Parish. Again, kudos to everyone.
