As God has forgiven our sins, so we must forgive others.

Today’s Gospel reminds us that God freely and generously pours out his love and forgiveness upon us through our faith in Jesus and the sacraments of the Church. These gifts are given to us, not only for our salvation, but so we may share them with others, and so peace may be built up more fully in the world.

Grazie! A big thank you to the Italian Cultural Society for organizing last Saturday’s Spaghetti and Meatball fundraiser dinner. Attendees were treated to a delicious meal of spaghetti, meatballs, salads, and a dessert buffet!
