Hello Business,

In the twenty fourth Sunday of ordinary time, St. James tells us that in claiming our faith we must include action, or our claim is useless as our true faith is demonstrated through our actions. Words by themselves are not enough. 

St. Mark teaches about self-denial and the hardships of following Christ, in which we are promised everlasting life for those who sacrifice for His sake.

The first reading reminds us that standing firm in our beliefs, no matter what challenges we face in opposition, we should never be filled with shame or fear, but instead have confidence in our loyalty to God.

In his homily this last weekend, Fr. Bill shared a message he read in a fortune cookie:

"IT IS NOT THOSE WHO HAVE LITTLE, BUT THOSE WHO NEED MORE, WHO ARE POOR." This message is really worth remembering.

Watch or listen to Fr. Bill's homily from last week.

Livestream the Mass on Sunday at 11:00am on our Facebook page.

THANK YOU

for being a part of our parish!

QCD

A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows individuals who are 70½ years old or older to donate up to $105,000 total to one or more charities directly from a taxable IRA instead of taking their required minimum distributions.

RMD

Required minimum distributions (RMDs) are the minimum amounts you must withdraw from your retirement accounts each year. You generally must start taking withdrawals from your traditional IRA, SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA, and retirement plan accounts when you reach age 72.

If you are over 72 years of age you qualify to take annual distributions from your retirement account to make tax free donations to charities of your choice.

Resurrection Church is a qualified public charity 501(c)(3) and can receive your QCD.

We thank you in advance for considering Resurrection Catholic Church and School as recipients of your donations.

Include Resurrection Catholic Parish or School in your will, trust or estate planning. Your gift – no matter how big or small – ensures our church and school can continue all of the incredible work we do, and you will be making an impact in the lives of others for many years to come.
