De Piro Reflections

November 13, 2021 St James Apostle Parish Letter, MSSP, Reflection ,

As we approach the conclusion of another liturgical year, this Sunday we celebrate the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time.

The Gospel speaks about the end of times in strange apocalyptic terms.  Our world will surely end when we are called to meet God who created us and called us to himself.  November is the time when we remember those who have completed their pilgrimage before us, sure in hope that we too will one day encounter God face to face.

In the Magazine Rack you will find reflections from the life and writings of Servant of God Joseph De Piro which will assist us in continuing our journey in our discipleship of Jesus.  We invite you to take a copy home with you this week.

Departed MSSP

November 6, 2021 St James Apostle Parish Information, MSSP ,

Last Friday, Fr Jude and Fr Silvio offered Mass for our departed MSSP brothers, lay missionaries, family, friends and benefactors.  This is one way that we acknowledge God’s ways of journeying with us along the years and our communion with those who came before us and supported our missions.  We encourage you to join us in prayers to include our missionaries and the many lay people who supported the mssp charism throughout the years.
