33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Well done good and faithful servant...I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master's joy.”
Jesus told his disciples this parable: "A man going on a journey called in his servants and entrusted his possessions to them. To one he gave five talents; to another, two; to a third, one --- to each according to his ability. Then he went away. "After a long time the master of those servants came back and settled accounts with them. The one who had received five talents came forward bringing the additional five. He said, 'Master, you gave me five talents. See, I have made five more. His master said to him, "Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master's joy."
To to the one who received one talent and was not a good steward of his masters wealth, His master said to him in reply, 'You wicked, lazy servant! --- Should you not then have put my money in the bank so that I could have got it back with interest on my return? Now then! Take the talent from him and give it to the one with ten. For to everyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. And throw this useless servant into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth."

Please continue to pray for all affected by the Corona Virus, those afflicted, those most vulnerable, for those tending to their care and those that have died.

For the betterment of all and due to an abundance of caution we will continue offering to take parishioners temperatures before both masses on the weekend. Please view this as voluntary and not mandatory as we seek to keep everyone safe. We must continue to practice social distancing
