Al will be accompanying the parish for the Corpus Christi procession immediately after the 12 Noon Mass.
Al Barbarino is a Lay Franciscan with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (the late Fr. Benedict Groeschel’s Community), and is a member of the Knights of Columbus. Throughout the years in this apostolate, he has recorded CDs/videos, and traveled around the world.
He speaks on our faith in a most practical, everyday level. Through all the support of his recordings, he helps the Franciscans at their homeless shelters, Croatian Relief International Outreach, and for the poor, wherever he sings. Al has worked in the New York City prisons for incarcerated youth as a counselor. He has many stories to share! Al’s recordings will be available after Mass.
A Loving Parent
There’s a core Jewish teaching: Never go to bed angry. It’s also standard advice to married couples. In Psalm 103, God’s posture is that of a loving parent: “slow to anger, and abounding in kindness,” no matter how much we disappoint.
We Welcome Fr. Paul W. Farin
We welcome Father Paul Farin of Cross Catholic Outreach who is speaking this weekend on July 31st and Aug 1st Masses on behalf of the poor in developing countries.
