Missionaries of the Precious Blood
Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time
A Letter from Your St. Edward Team,
Mother Teresa, now a saint, once said, “We ourselves feel that
what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean
would be less because of that missing drop”. An even more
famous person, Jesus Christ, said, “…For where two or three
are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of
them.”
As this team works with our various groups and parishioners to
prepare for the Annual Parish Festival on Sunday, October 16,
these two quotes have given us much upon which to ponder.
Our parish is very much like an ocean, full of abundant and varied life. We have many talents, cultural traditions, interests, and
stories to share. The more often we gather in community to
share and demonstrate these “differences”, the more we become one big, beautiful, bright blue ocean, teeming as one with
life and diversity. We ARE St. Edward Parish!
Our parish festival is one such opportunity for us to gather as St.
Edward family to share our time, our talent, our cultures, and
yes, even our treasure. Many of our cultural talents and traditions will be on stage as we welcome traditional dancers from
the Philippines, India, Mexico, and even Hawaii. And the food!
The international foods available will have you drooling. But the
best part is that we will be blessed to gather together, share our
stories, get to know our fellow parishioners, and meet/greet the
members of the parish team and parish groups.
“…For where two or three are gathered together in my name,
there am I in the midst of them.” So, please accept this heartfelt
invitation to join with us as we come together, welcoming Jesus
into our midst, to celebrate and enjoy the fruits of the many labors and talents that will be offered that day by your fellow St.
Edward family members.
Yours in Christ, Parish Staff
