                                      Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
     who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, as he chose us in
     him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and without blemish before him.
     (Eph 1:3-4)
     Gospel:
     Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them
     authority over unclean spirits. (Mk 6:7)

    • OUR VISION •
    We the members of Baraga County Catholic Community are three parishes in one family. We seek daily for the grace of God
    poured out in prayer and the sacraments to be the-best-version-of-ourselves both as individual believers and as a fellowship of
    the Body of Christ. We seek the lost by our hands-on outreach and unwavering evangelization efforts. Our one aim is to
    advance the kingdom of God by living the motto of Venerable Bishop Frederic Baraga to do all we do for the greater glory of God,
    which is the “one thing necessary”.

Here's a well-kept secret about how to renew the passion and
purpose in your life's vocation: whenever the love has grown cold,
reconnect with the beginning of your vocation. Enter deeply into
the memories of how it all began and you will be able to see God
working powerfully. This is also necessary when we are forced to
carry a heavy burden in order to be faithful to our vocation like
Amos in today's first reading. God is love and the more we
reconnect to the time that we fell in love with God and others, the
love that has grown cold in our hearts will be rekindled to a blazing
fire! So like Amos, let us take a few moments this weekend to
remember our vocation stories.

Peace and God's blessings,

Fr. Corey
