From Words to Action: The Two Sons

From 'Yes' to Action: Servant-Discipleship

Blessed Trinity Catholic Church gathers this 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time to hear Jesus' challenging parable of the two sons and its call to authentic, lived faith. Father Skip invites every parishioner to ask honestly: am I becoming the person God has called me to be? This week also marks Priesthood Sunday, as we celebrate and give thanks for the gift of our priests.
