Imagine for a moment that we were guests at the supper we’ve just heard about in the gospel. The host must have been very proud that he was able to convince Jesus to come for a meal. This would be a social coup for him. We’ve all known people who were ‘priest collectors’ They would rattle off the names of all the priests or monsignors or even bishops they the managed to snag for an evening meal and share with you the chit chat of the evening meal. Every new priest was feather in their cap.
In this week’s bulletin, the parish barbeque, Alex Seredenko in concert, and a request for baby clothes and furniture from St. Vincent de Paul.
