Ukraine Welcome Circle - Reflecting on the Year

Updated September 25, 2025

Reflecting on this last year……A year ago the St. Julie And St. Peter Circle was awarded the 2024 Bishop A.J. Quinn Award for Justice from Catholic Charities Diocesan Social Action Office. The team leaders accepted the award but it was all of you, sharing your time talent and treasures, who made this recognition possible.

Your financial support has been outstanding allowing us to continue to help with rent, utilities and food while the family takes care of all their other expenses and needs. Maybe your donation was for school clothing and supplies, grocery gift cards, buying a football square, providing guitar lessons or English tutoring classes. Maybe you were one of the many volunteers or makers that provided all of the items for the Christmas Craft show last year, or were on our trip to the Westside Market or played games with the kids at a small family party. When we had them to the church, you embraced them with open arms.

God bless all of you for being disciples of Christ acting with compassion and mercy. The Please continue to support the Bryiovskyis with your love and prayers.

From the desk of Fr. Isidore Munishi

from the bulletin for February 15, 2026

The most recent message from Fr. Bob is always available in the bulletin.

Greetings, Parishioners

The fact that God is good at all times is a reflection of His character. During the few days of intense snowfall and extreme cold, God spared us. We are grateful for the Lord's protection and provisions, and as we reflect on this Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time, may we embrace Jesus' message of fulfilling the Law with open hearts.

For the people of Israel, the "law" could signify the Ten Commandments or the five Books of Moses, known as the Pentateuch or Torah, which elucidate the commandments and ordinances of God for His people. The term "law" also encompassed the entire teaching or way of life that God provided for His people. During Jesus' time, the Jews also referred to it as the oral or scribal law. It is important to note that the scribes added many more stipulations to the law than God had intended. This is why Jesus frequently condemned the scribal law, as it imposed burdens on individuals that were not meant by God.

Furthermore, in today’s gospel reading, Jesus affirms the significance of His religious tradition, yet He transcends it. He cites one of the Ten Commandments, ‘You shall not kill,’ and then expands upon it by forbidding attitudes that could lead to murder. He cautions against the emotion of anger—not the anger that is a natural part of human emotional experience, but the kind of anger that is nurtured and can result in destructive actions, including killing. The first instance of murder in the Bible, the slaying of Abel by his brother Cain, was driven by anger. ‘Cain was very angry… and rose up against his brother Abel, and killed him.’ Jesus also warns against derogatory language, often stemming from anger, such as referring to someone as ‘Fool’ or ‘Renegade.’ He recognizes the potentially harmful power of language. How we communicate about others influences our relationships with them. Our anger can alienate us from others. In essence, anger can damage a good marriage, healthy relationships and friendships, unity, spiritual life, social life, effective communication, positive attitudes towards others, and our relationship with God. Jesus emphasizes the necessity of reconciling with those who harbor grievances against us. We might have anticipated Him to address the...

Is the law of God important to me and my family today? Lent is approaching, providing each of us with the chance to renounce sin, our obstinacy, and embrace humility. On February 18, Ash Wednesday, we will be reminded of our mortality, that we are but dust. We will also be called to repent for our sins and to have faith in the gospel. By conquering pride and various sins, we can better appreciate and adhere to God’s law. In this endeavor, we will be able to love and honor God, our Creator, as well as our neighbors.
