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 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time

My Friends,

I hope that this finds you well. I have attached the bulletin for the parish to the "About" pages for your review. I hope that you will find it useful.

The priests of the Diocese of Yakima will gather September 22-25, 2026 with Bishop Joseph Tyson at the Holiday Inn – Richland on the River Hotel, for the annual Convocation of Priests. On Thursday, September 24, there will be a public Mass at 4:30 p.m. at Christ the King Catholic Church, 1111 Stevens Drive, in Richland. Jubilarians (those priests marking a particular anniversary of priesthood) will be recognized for their years of service. All are invited to attend this annual Mass.

I ask that you please pray for your priests, and our bishop, during this important annual meeting.

St. John Vianney, patron of parish priests, pray for us!

Also, for your information, I will be away the week of October 5th through October 9th at a conference focused on Spiritual Direction. Catholic spiritual direction is prayerful, confidential, relationship where a trained guide helps you notice and respond to God's presence in your daily life. Please pray for me during my travels, as I continue to pray for you and your family.

Finally, I have attached to the "News" pages, the flyer for the upcoming Youth Service Day to be held at 12 Noon on October 9th at the St. Paul Cathedral Mission Center, and also a flyer & info pages for the Annual Church Mission Congress to be held the next day on October 10th at LaSalle High School. All catechists are urged to attend this annual event. I urge all catequistas, all teachers, to include this important annual event on your calendar. If you have any questions, please call me at the number below. Thank you.
