Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

October 04, 2026

The Holy Gospel According to: Matthew 21:33-43

Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders of the people: "Hear another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a tower. Then he leased it to tenants and went on a journey. When vintage time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to obtain his produce. But the tenants seized the servants and one they beat,
another they killed, and a third they stoned. Again he sent other servants, more numerous than the first ones, but they treated them in the same way.

Finally, he sent his son to them, thinking, 'They will respect my son.' But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and acquire his inheritance.' They seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What will the owner of the vineyard do to those tenants when he comes?" They answered him, "He will put those wretched men to a wretched death and lease his vineyard to other tenants who will give him the produce at the proper times."

Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures:
The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes?

Therefore, I say to you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit."

For the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Greetings,

I hope that this finds you and your family well. I shall be brief today.

As usual, I have attached the bulletin for this weekend to the "About" pages for your perusal. I draw your attention specifically to the Q & A article, as well as the article on the upcoming (tomorrow) celebration of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. As one of the most beloved saints by those both inside and outside the Church. I am pleased to claim him as my patron saint.

Many of you are aware that I will be away from the parish this week, returning next Sunday. Details to be found in the bulletin.

Blessings to you and your family.

Fr. Brooks
