Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time - 07/26/26

The Holy Gospel According to: Matthew 13:44-52

Jesus said to His disciples:

"The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls.
When he finds a pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea, which collects fish of every kind. When it is full they haul it ashore and sit down to put what is good into buckets. What is bad they throw away. Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.

"Do you understand all these things?" They answered, "Yes." And He replied,
"Then every scribe who has been instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like the head of a household who brings from his storeroom both the new and the old."

Greetings,

I hope that this email finds you well and surviving the warm weather.

I have attached the bulletin to the "About" pages for the parishes for this weekend. I hope that you will find it useful.

I have also attached to the "News" pages, the flyer for the QUO VADIS (from the Latin for "Where are you going?") gathering to be held tomorrow and this Tuesday at LaSalle High School in Union Gap. This gathering has a special emphasis on men ages 13 to 18 who may be discerning a vocation to the priesthood or religious life. Please see the attached flyer for details. If you have any questions, or if you are aware of a young man (or young men) who wish to participate in this important event, please forward to them the attached flyer along with contact information.

If a young man is interested in participating in this event and he and his family are unable to pay the registration fee, please let me know and we will assist them with the fee. You may reach me at brooksbeaulaurier@gmail.com

Finally, blessings to you and your family.

Pope Francis: “The vocation is truly a treasure that God places in the hearts of some men, chosen by Him and called to follow Him in this special state of life.”
