This Sunday we see a woman whose plight has been ongoing, and she seems to be at her wit’s end with no answers on the horizon. She clearly loves her sick daughter, so this mother — a Canaanite who is not a part of the chosen people of Israel — attempts the unthinkable because she’s run out of options. She humiliates herself with her desperate plea. Jesus himself seems not to respond at first, and the disciples consider her a nuisance and want her to leave so they can be about the rest of their day. Instead of becoming angry and stomping away or becoming bitter at the lack of assistance, she worships Jesus, despite what this would surely do to her reputation.

Along with offering the take-out meals, the Raffle Tickets and Sponsorships will continue to be a part of the modified Festival this year.

With the onset and continued Corona Virus Pandemic, the Parish Office has been trying to contact you, our parishioners, to check on your well-being and to keep you informed about church activities (eg. Confessions, Adoration, Sacraments, and the opening of the Church/Holy Family Center). We are finding that home numbers are disconnected and we do not have emails for many of you. This makes communication with you, our precious and valued parishioners, very difficult. Please let us know if your contact info has changed.
