June 14, 2023Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ
The Gospel this week shows Jesus’ compassion for the people who followed him. Jesus saw them as sheep without a shepherd, meaning they were harassed and helpless. He felt sorry for them and wanted to help them find true guidance and rest for their souls. Jesus also saw them as a harvest that needed more workers to gather them into God’s kingdom. He asked his disciples to pray for more people to join his mission of preaching and healing. The Gospel reading reveals Jesus’ love and care for the lost and those in need. Jesus simply wants to share his message of salvation with them. We are challenged by the Gospel to follow the example of Jesus and join him in his work of reaching out to others with the gospel.

Since we are not longer able to collect food here at St. Hyacinth, we are asking parishioners to donate food to the Community Food Bank at Fr. Methodist on Tuesdays and Thursdays 10:00am to 2:00pm. Thank you for your generosity.
Next, we are currently providing livestreaming of the Masses here at St. Hyacinth.

One of our parish goals in 2023 is to increase the number of families supporting St Hyacinth using Faith Direct and online giving. Currently we have only 208 families using Faith Direct. You can register in less than five minutes signing up for online giving at https://sthyacinth.org/online-giving.
Finally, on behalf of the community of St. Hyacinth, we want to wish all the Fathers of our parish a happy and blessed Father’s day.
God Bless,
