Parish News

We, the People of God at St. George Parish, truly live the Christian Values. Last Sunday at our Annual Festival, I was a witness of the many talented and generous members of our community.

“In a grade school classroom, a history teacher asked her 1st grade class, who is Martin Luther King Jr.? Nobody raises a hand and the class was quiet for few seconds until one brave boy raises his hand saying, teacher, maybe he is in another classroom!” honestly if I didn't come to the US, I wouldn't know martin Luther King Jr. either.

Xenophobia, fear of foreigners or foreign things, seems almost a part of human nature. Grandparents may have come to this country fearing the new sights, smells, and places into which they were thrust.

Most of the trials, challenges or problems we faced are the tests of faith. How we face those trials reflects how strong our faith is.

“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; LISTEN to him” (Mathew 17, 5). Hey! Do you want to listen to Jesus?

“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure”. When we think about treasure, we think about gold, silver or some expensive material things. Some people are called treasure hunters.

Jesus speaks with parables, that is, stories, concise, clear, simple stories, and its purpose is to transmit a teaching in the most understandable and easy way to remember.

The Parable of the Sower reminds us to bear good fruits. “But some seed fell on the rich soil and produced fruits, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold. Whoever has ears ought to hear”.

“I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth” (Mt. 11: 25) for having chosen me as Pastor of Saint George Parish. I want to thank my parishioners for the great hospitality and welcome.

Don’t forget to call and schedule an appointment with Linda Reyes, as 1st communion and confirmation registrations have began.
