This Year Marks the 50th Anniversary of the Establishment of St. Edmond Parish. Monthly Celebrations will be Held. Pay Attention to the Announcements!
The theme chosen for the golden celebration is: “JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME-YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER” (Hebrews 13:8). When I first read that it immediately rang a bell in my heart because the front of* my ordination to the priesthood invitation was that same passage!
Wow! The passage helps us remember that in this constantly changing world there is one constant that NEVER changes- Jesus Christ! He is dependable, reliable, immovable in His love for us, constantly chasing after us when we choose to run away from His Will, continually assuring us that “all will be well” when we trust Him, protecting us daily from dangers that we know and don’t know, gring us answers to our prayers that He knows is the best answer, loving us when we don’t love Him, being generous to us when we choose selfishness!
Come Lord Jesus!
I Love You!
