Today's Reading
Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time


Thus says the LORD:
Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad because of her,
all you who love her;
exult, exult with her,
all you who were mourning over her!
Oh, that you may suck fully
of the milk of her comfort,
that you may nurse with delight
at her abundant breasts!
For thus says the LORD:
Lo, I will spread prosperity over Jerusalem like a river,
and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing torrent.
As nurslings, you shall be carried in her arms,
and fondled in her lap;
as a mother comforts her child,
so will I comfort you;
in Jerusalem you shall find your comfort.

When you see this, your heart shall rejoice
and your bodies flourish like the grass;
the LORD's power shall be known to his servants.

Savio Parent Association (SPA) News
 
 

It's never too early to think about next year... Volunteers are always needed.  Contact SPA Chair, Julie Zimmerman at [email protected] and she can help find the perfect spot for you:  a once in a while volunteer, a "done in a day" project, class rep helper, or SPA committee member.  Our school is growing and so is the need for more parent involvement; several special Savio traditions are solely parent/volunteer-run.  Please email Julie Zimmerman at [email protected].
