As we dive into the Lord’s teachings from the Gospel of Matthew, our homily today focuses on the understanding of “Church,” the “Body of Christ” made up of many members with different gifts, united by the Holy Spirit with Jesus Christ as the head. If we wish to persevere as Border Town Parishes, we need to support our local communities via time, talent and financial resources, both for our salvation and those that come ahead of us. Please consider will and estate planning opportunities when that time comes for the parishes you love!
