Jesus says in the Gospel that the harvest is abundant
but the laborers are few. Our church today is in need of more laborers as well. While we listen to these sacred scriptures, it might be well to reflect on Jesus’ instructions to his disciples and imagine
ourselves among the first evangelizers. What lessons might we learn for our mission today?

We need someone to do a monthly reconciliation of our checking
accounts. Sharon and Msgr. Pashley write all of the checks but it is a
good practice to have someone else reconcile. We have several
accounts but one is our main account with the most activity.
We also have an accountant but paying a CPA to reconcile is a waste
of money. Give us a call if you are interested.
Within limits, you can set your own schedule.
