Dear Fellow Disciples, peace.

What a powerful image Jesus gives us today: ten bridesmaids waiting for the bridegroom. All ten had lamps, all ten were waiting, but only five had brought enough oil.

The difference was not that some wanted to meet the bridegroom and others did not. They all wanted to be there. The difference was that some were prepared and others were not.

Dear Parishioners,

With the new No Parking signs now posted throughout our campus, we are implementing the Safety & Parking Policy to help promote safe and accessible roadways during weekend Masses and Religious Education (RE) programs. This policy is has been created to help ensure that emergency access routes remain clear for police, fire, and medical personnel.

Task Force volunteers will:

• Observe parking areas and access roads during Mass and RE programs
• Take photographs of improperly parked vehicles
• Place courtesy notices on vehicle windshields

Dear Fellow Disciples, peace.

You can be a saint! Sometimes we think that saints are people who never made mistakes, never struggled with temptation, or never experienced weakness. But holiness is not about being perfect from the beginning; it is about allowing God to transform our lives through His grace.

As Saint John Paul II reminds us: "Every sinner has a future, every saint has a past." God does not define us by our past sins but invites us to a new future with Him, a future of daily conversion and discipleship.
