Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

September 27, 2026

The Holy Gospel According to: Matthew 21:28-32

Jesus said to the chief priests and elders of the people: "What is your opinion? A man had two sons. He came to the first and said, 'Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.' He said in reply, 'I will not,' but afterwards changed his mind and went. The man came to the other son and gave the same order. He said in reply, 'Yes, sir, ' but did not go.

Which of the two did his father's will?" They answered, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Amen, I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you. When John came to you in the way of righteousness, you did not believe him; but tax collectors and prostitutes did. Yet even when you saw that, you did not later change your minds and believe him."

For the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Greetings,

I hope that all is well with you and your family.

I have, for your review, attached the bulletin for St. John to the "About" pages. In particular I draw your attention to the article to the upcoming All Saints Parish Potluck to be held Saturday October 24, following the Vigil Mass. I hope that you will join us for what I am certain will prove to be a fun time! Children are urged to come dressed as their favorite saint. I am looking forward to presenting a primer on the role in the life of the saints in the Church. Any questions on this event should be directed to Connie Schuler at 509.833.8517.

I will be away from the parish effective Monday October 5 to Saturday October 9 at a retreat/conference on the art of Spiritual Direction. The regular weekend Masses will be celebrated at the usual time. However, Mass will not be celebrated at the parish during the weekdays that particular week. The rosary will be prayed on Wednesday of that week at the church at 8:30am rather than the usual hour of 8:00am.

Finally, at the request of Bishop Tyson, I have attached to the "News" pages, for your careful perusal, a letter from him dated September 27, 2026 in regard to the recent upsurge in questionable activity on the part of Immigration Custom Enforcement (ICE) in Washington State, with Yakima County seemingly to be disproportionately targeted for what has come to be referred to as "indiscriminate deportation." Along with the letter, and for those who may not be familiar with the life and work of Mother Cabrini, I have also attached to the "News" pages, a primer on St. Frances Cabrini as she spent her entire life working with and for the Italian immigrants as they sought a better life for themselves and their children in the 19th and 20th Centuries were in the United States. I hope that you will find the brief bio edifying, as well as the youtube video below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp4QxLQzkBw

Blessings to you and your family.
