At Saint George Parish we are pursuing new opportunities to foster a stronger parish life and better engage the New Evangelization. As a part of these efforts we are happy to announce that Saint George Parish now has it's own app for Apple and Android phones.Our new app will allow us to send you useful and important messages throughout the week regarding our parish life and events, and allow you to reply to messages or RSVP for events.There will be no need for parishioners with smart phones to remember to silence their phones before Mass. The app will send you a reminder to silence your phone 20 minutes before the Mass you select. Many more great features will be a help to all of us, such as, daily Mass readings, Catholic news, prayers and prayer reminders, quick access to online tithing, Confession reminders, and our weekly bulletin.
A Reflection
In last Sunday’s Gospel reading Jesus sends out the seventy-two disciples to preach, expel demons, and cure the sick in the villages and towns that He would visit. He reminds them that the harvest is rich but the laborers are few. He sends out the disciples to tell the people that the Kingdom of God is very near, and Jesus wants the people to become part of His Kingdom. Being a part of His Kingdom is the way to the everlasting life which is free from sin, sorrow and death.
That desire of Jesus is for every person of every place and age. He wants us to receive the life of grace that wells up to eternity which is given at baptism. Jesus tells us at the Ascension to “Go out and baptize all nations.” That divine command was meant for all His disciples – the Apostles, the Bishops and priests, religious sisters and brothers, and lay people. That has always been the case, and generations of Catholics have done this in their homes, in their communities, and among the people they know and mingle with. We are all called to do this even now – “to give reason for the hope we have within us” as Saint Peter tells us. That hope is expressed by our actions and our lives, and our words by which we speak of Jesus and the life He gives us through the Church. Lay people do not baptize, unless in emergencies, but you take part in this great mission by speaking of the faith to your children and to others, by inviting people to be baptized or to enter the Church, by encouraging people to take part and persevere in the RCIA program, and by being a sponsor for someone who asks to be baptized and helping them as they prepare to receive the sacraments.
To do this has always been a challenge. At certain times in history that challenge is more daunting than at other times but it is never impossible. I would like to encourage you not to be afraid to show you are a Catholic by your actions and words. Your faithfulness will be a powerful sign that will attract souls to Jesus. Taking up this challenge will help you to deepen in your faith and in your moral life. It will provide you with opportunities to see the grace of Christ working in your own life and the lives of others. We are all called to speak of Christ and to be an ambassador for Him so that others will be won over to Him. I invite you to take up the mission that Jesus has given all of us: to proclaim the Good News to all creation and baptize all nations in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. ~ Fr. King
