Hola! Bonjour! Konnichiwa! Vanakkam! Annyeonghaseyo!
We are proud of our cultural diversity here at SJTW and want to celebrate us all as children of God and all one holy Catholic Church. During a special Mass on January 26th at 10:30am, we will sing and pray in different languages. We will also host a special food sampling after Mass with foods from around the world! We would like to represent as many different cultures as possible. To make this all happen, we need your help now! If you speak another language and would like it represented at this Mass, if you would like to participate in the food sampling, or if you'd like to participate in this celebration in any way, please fill out this form: (insert Link) or contact the parish office.
SJTW celebrated the diversity here in our parish and all over the world as one holy Catholic church. What a great celebration of family as we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. It took many hands to make this celebration a success. A big THANK YOU to all who helped make it happen whether you helped set up, proclaimed readings and prayers during Mass, sung in the choir, carried a flag, helped in the kitchen, cleaned up after, or if you brought a delicious dish to share. It was wonderful to see so many worshiping together and gathering after mass to continue the celebration.
Feedback on Cultural Heritage Sunday
Just a quick note to tell you that I had chills more than once during Mass this past weekend and no, I am not feeling ill. LOL. Quite the opposite! I felt, and heard, the Spirit in so many beautiful ways thru the creative use of language and rituals. What a tremendous reminder to all of us that we are connected in a web of community. Something that I appreciate being reminded of and I believe can help heal this fractured world we live in.
Thank you for sharing your gifts with our community and all that you do to create such beautiful liturgies.
Blessings to you.
