Just like the first disciples whom Jesus CALLED at the Sea of Galilee, God comes to each of us and CALLS us by name to share in his mission of bringing love and light to the world. He desires for us to follow his CALL for he knows best how to fulfill our lives and to make them truly blessed. With faith and trust in the Lord, may we always answer God’s CALL as a response to God’s unconditional love for each one of us.

As we enter into this brief period of Ordinary Time between the Christmas Season and the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday (February 14, 2024), we as God’s family are invited to GROW. We continue to GROW in grace, service, and discipleship in Christ. God will provide us with many opportunities to GROW. May we stay open to God’s graces that allow the seeds of faith to bear great fruit in this New Year as we GROW in faith, hope, and love.
