Happy Nineteenth Sunday!

This is a brief second reminder that next weekend will be our summer mission appeal weekend at both St. Robert and Good Shepherd. Fr. Arockiyasamy Santhiyagu, pastor of St. Mary in Durand and St. Joseph in Gaines, will be at St. Robert on behalf of the Missionaries of St. Francis de Sales. Fr. Ginu and Fr. Santhiyagu are brothers in the same religious order, so we will again be assisting their order’s missionary work. At Good Shepherd, Fr. Paul Sunny will be preaching on behalf of the Archdiocese of Trivandrum in Kerala, India. We’ll have envelopes available in the pews for you. We’ll include a second collection at Mass, or you can also take an envelope home with you if that works better.

Look out next week for our second edition of The Good Word with Fr. Christian, who will graciously be lending his voice to this article once each month. He has been a great blessing to me already as he begins his priestly ministry, so please continue to pray for Fr. Christian and take the opportunity sometime in the next few months to introduce yourself.

I’ll be back here in two weeks with some capital campaign updates.

Peace and blessings on your week!

Fr. Brian
