Dear Parishioners,
Congratulations to Bentley Mathiowetz, son of Daniel and Melissa Mathiowetz, who is baptized this weekend.
Happy Labor Day weekend! I hope that you are able to take some time to rest from your labors. This holiday was first celebrated in 1882 as a way to thank workers whose contributions have made our country great. While a secular holiday, certainly the Church has much to say about labor. SHe rejoices in meaningful labor, just wages, and safe work environments. As such, the Church has always held the highest regard for those that work for justice in the work place. With unemployment rates being as high as they are, we who have employment, even if not ideal, should thank God. Consider, too, how our work and rest helps to promote the Kingdom of God.
School begins this week. After the silence of the Summer, it will be a welcome change to hear the school bustling! I hope that this year is one of great growth and learning.
In Christ,
Fr. Todd
