Bishop Robert Barron's Sunday Sermon

August 16, 2026

Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time - 08/16/26

The Holy Gospel According to: Matthew 15:21-28

At that time, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out, "Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon." But Jesus did not say a word in answer to her.

Jesus' disciples came and asked Him, "Send her away for she keeps calling after us." Jesus said in reply, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." But the woman came and did Jesus homage, saying, "Lord help me."

He said in reply, "It is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs." She said, "Please Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters."

Then Jesus said to her in reply, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done to you as you wish." And the woman's daughter was healed from that hour.

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.
