Dear people of God,

May the Lord give you peace! Again, we are prayerfully beginning the diocesan annual appeal. You might have received or will be receiving a mailing about the diocesan annual appeal very soon. Please take some time to prayerfully respond to the appeal. As you know, our diocesan annual appeal is the funding source for all the diocesan offices and their activities like seminarians’ education & religious formation, Televised Mass, Mary of good help Hmong ministry and so on.

Dear people of God,

Good morning to you all. I express my hearty thanks to all the members of Immaculate parish council under Debra & Roman Kujak, our PCCW ladies and other volunteers from St. Lawrence and St. Boniface, who helped for the meticulous planning and successful execution of our Fall Festival at our Immaculate Conception parish, Fountain City.

Dear People of God.

Good morning to you . I welcome you all to the Joint Fall Festival which is going to be this Sunday, October 17 at our Immaculate Conception Church.

On this 29th Sunday in Ordinary time, our readings convey how deeply God understands our weaknesses and sufferings, and how we are called to imitate Him through humility and service. Our First Reading reminds us that Jesus suffered for us — “through his suffering, my servant shall justify many, and their guilt he shall bear.” Out of love for us, He willingly submitted to this to fulfill His Father’s mission.

Dear People of God,

Good morning to you all. On this twenty-eight Sunday of ordinary time, we celebrate Christ the Wisdom and Word of God. Christ is sufficient and all things for us. We are rich in him because, he is alive and active in our hearts. We must be willing to give up everything in this life for the sake of the Lord Jesus.

Dear people of God,

Good morning to you all. On this 27th Sunday, we are invited to reflect on the significance and importance of the institutions of marriage and family through reading of today. Both are essential institutions founded on genuine love for the sustenance of humanity. Marriage plays the dual role. First, it serves the of affection between couples and, the sustenance of humanity through procreation.
