The Holy Gospel According to: Matthew 10:37-42
Jesus said to His apostles:
“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."
"Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man, will receive a righteous man’s reward."
"And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink
because the little one is a disciple—Amen, I say to you; he will surely not lose his reward.”
Jesus tells His Apostles whoever gives a child even just a small cup of water, because this little one is a disciple, will be rewarded for following God's Word and the Truth of His Life.

Greetings,
I hope that this email finds you well.
I have, as usual, attached the bulletin for the parishes to the "About" pages. I hope that you find it useful and informative. I would refer you specifically to my comment in "From the Pastor's Desk" in relation to an upcoming meeting for youth to be held this Thursday, July 2 at St. Paul Catholic Church in Yakima, at 15 St. 12th Avenue. Details on this meeting are found in this article. I invite all of our youth to attend this meeting. But for a conflict with my Thursday liturgy schedule in St. Juan Diego, I would attend this meeting.
On a different matter, I have just come from the Annual St. John Parish picnic held at the residence of Gina Desmarais. My thanks to everyone who helped make this event the success that it was; and most especially to Gina for hosting this gathering. Job well done by all. Thank you very much.
Blessings to you and your family.
