19th Sunday of Ordinary Time
Join us at our Saturday mass, at 4:30 p.m., in the Sanctuary or on Zoom. The passcode to enter is: liturgy. Please mute yourselves upon entering. This week’s worship aid is found here.
Today’s readings remind us that God speaks to us and beckons us in so many unexpected and surprising ways. Some of us may respond better to an almost indistinguishable whisper, while others need a wake-up call that requires great courage on our part — like Peter’s call to walk on water. Hearing, seeing, giving our full assent to what we experience may not be easy. But the message has been consistent throughout history: God continues to invite us.

The Ecumenical Catholic Communion embraces a network of local churches and sacramental communities across North
America. As authentic Catholics we celebrate our continuity with the undivided Church of the first millennium and believe
that salvation is offered to all. Our unity is built on the teachings and example of Jesus Christ as we seek compassion, justice and peace in the world. We seek to live our faith through liturgy, prayer, community building and collaboration, study and service. Eucharist is a visible sign of that unity.
Ours is a synodal form of governance, with the diverse voices and charisms of laity, clergy and bishops. “The Ecumenical Catholic Communion is the most parish-oriented of any group within the independent Catholic movement in America.” Julie Byrne, Author of the Other Catholics, Columbia University Press, 2016.
