Twenty Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time October 6, 2019

Welcome! You enter this Church not as a stranger, but as a guest of God. As a baptized person, you enter it as a son or daughter of the Father in Christ. This House of God, therefore, is your family home. Come in then with humility of mind, joy of heart, and thanks in your soul. Acknowledge the Lord’s presence in the Tabernacle and adore Him. Come in and pause in prayer in the midst of your busy life and its many concerns. Be grateful to those who, for the glory of God and in honor of St. Edward, built our place of worship and our school with faith and sacrifice, and sanctified it with their songs and prayers. Anyone who wishes to practice the Catholic faith by attending this parish may consider St. Edward church their parish home, no matter where one lives in the area. You simply need to register.
