Fr. Richard Weisenberger
Dear Parishioners,
This past week we celebrated two Solemnities which also happen to be patronal feasts of two parishes in our pastorate. On Thursday, June 23, we marked the Nativity of John the Baptist and Friday, June 24 we observed The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Actually the proper day for the Birth of John the Baptist is June 24 but because Sacred Heart occurs on that date this year John the Baptist was moved up to the 23rd. John the Baptist serves as the bridge between Old and New Testaments. His fundamental role is to point out Jesus Christ so that others may follow Him. His importance is underscored by the fact that his birthday is one of only 3 birthdays which the church celebrates. The Sacred Heart of Jesus reminds us that our faith is not fundamentally about knowledge, but love. God’s passionate love for us and our loving response. A belated happy feast day to St. John the Baptist and Sacred Heart Parishes.
