September Calendar Raffle Winners
In today’s Gospel story, Jesus made a point of walking the road with just his disciples so that he could have an intimate conver- sation with them. Knowing their expectations for greatness, he explained for a second time that he was going to be betrayed, killed and then rise to new life.
His companions responded with blessed silence. No questions, no sympathy, no protest. Perhaps they were just shaking their heads in hopes that he’d come to his senses when they finally sat down in the shade. Once he was out of hearing distance, they got into a lively discussion of their own.

Joining the Catholic Church
Were you raised in another church, but worship with us often, and wonder about some of our practices and beliefs? Or has the Holy Spirit been prompting you, a baptized Catholic, to complete your initiation into the Church by receiving the sacra- ments of Eucharist and Confirmation? Then the Rite of Chris- tian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
may be just what you’re seek- ing! Classes will begin in the Fall. Contact SJ or OLL offic- es for more information.
