Message from Father Alan
This weekend’s Gospel story of Jesus blessing the lad’s five loaves and two fish,
and feeding thousands of people, has been dubbed as “the first Christian potluck”!
It can serve as a reminder to us to invite Jesus into all of our picnics and summer gatherings,
to be a part of our family life and always a central person in our community. With Jesus
present not only will the food be plentiful and flavorful but our conversation and fellowship,
all of our interactions with others will be better as well!
NEWS FLASH In a spirit of Pelican Valley ACC friendship and solidarity, on Sunday, August 18
instead of 8:30 Mass at St. Elizabeth, and also in place of the 10:30 mass at Our Lady of Victory,
we will have an Outdoor Mass at St. Elizabeth at 10:00 followed by the annual Pork Out. So please
mark your calendars and let’s plan to have the biggest and best summer celebration ever….with
Jesus right in the middle…..at St. Elizabeth! That’s Sunday August 18 (no 10:30 Mass at OLV, no
8:30 at St. E….come to the 10:00 outdoor Mass at St. Elizabeth)! Peace, Fr. Alan
La historia del Evangelio de este fin de semana de Jesús bendiciendo los cinco panes y los dos peces del muchacho, y alimentar a miles de personas, ha sido apodada como "la primera comida cristiana compartida". Puede servirnos como un recordatorio para invitar a Jesús a todos nuestros picnics y reuniones de verano. Ser parte de nuestra vida familiar y siempre una persona central en nuestra comunidad. Con Jesús presente, no solo la comida será abundante y sabrosa, sino también nuestra conversación y compañerismo, ¡Todas nuestras interacciones con los demás también serán mejores!
En un espíritu de amistad y solidaridad de Pelican Valley ACC, el domingo 18 de agosto en lugar de la misa de las 8:30 en Santa Isabel, y también en lugar de la misa de las 10:30 en Nuestra Señora de la Victoria, tendremos una misa al aire libre en St. Elizabeth a las 10:00 seguida del Pork Out anual. Así que, por favor, Marquen sus calendarios y planifiquemos tener la mayor y mejor celebración de verano de todos los tiempos.... ¡Jesús justo en el medio.....en Santa Isabel! Eso es el domingo 18 de agosto (no Misa de las 10:30 en OLV, no 8:30 en St. E... ven a la Misa al aire libre de las 10:00 en St. Elizabeth)! Paz, P. Alan
