It shall not be void and empty.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM Ps 65 (A Fruitful Harvest) “The seed that falls on good ground will yield a fruitful harvest.”
2nd READING ROMANS 8:18-23 (Future Redemption of the Body) The suffering and trials of the present are destined to be only a prelude to the glorious future of the children of God. During this life, we await the redemption of our bodies. THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW 13:1-23 (Parable of the Sower) Jesus teaches in parables that can be easily understood. He speaks of sowing the message of salvation that by some is heeded for a while or ignored. Others, however, listen intently and try NEWS, INFO, & EVENTS

CATHOLIC UPDATE Our church bulletin will soon start containing a monthly newsletter entitled “CATHOLIC UPDATE”. Each monthly newsletter will present a different topic that may be familiar, but you don’t know a lot about it, or maybe a topic that you have heard little about and want to know more. These topics generally help in the faith formation of Catholic adults. Some will also offer leading questions for reflection. AMERICAN MARTYRS PARISH COUNCIL Congratulations to Melissa Woods, our new Parish Council member.
