A Reading from the Gospel for Sunday, November 19, 2023
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew 25:34b-38, 40
Jesus said, “Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world, for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.”
Then the righteous will answer him, “Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you or naked and gave you clothing?”
And the king will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it to me.”
The Gospel of the Lord.

Face to Face Ministries
Dear Parents,
On Tuesday we welcomed Face to Face Ministries to our school. They led two in-school retreats, one for our elementary students and one for our junior highs.
Students sang, danced, enjoyed some chaos, and had a blast. They also took time to pray, think, and connect with God in a deep and meaningful way.
It was truly an amazing day.
God Bless
