Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time - 08/23/26

The Holy Gospel According to: Matthew 16:13-20

Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi and He asked His disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter said in reply, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus said to him in reply, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

Then He strictly ordered His disciples to tell no one that He was the Christ.

Greetings,

I hope that this email finds you well.

As usual, I have attached the bulletin of the parish to the "About" pages. I hope that you will find it useful. I direct your attention in particular to the information on how all of us can help the victims of the Spokane - Area WildFire.

Also, please note the article for those who are discerning entering the Catholic Church with the upcoming class for Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) - or Catholics who may simply wish to learn more about their Catholic faith. I ask for your assistance spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ and His Church. Be not afraid to invite those "inquiring minds."

Blessings to you and your family.
