12th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Encyclical Sunday. The much-anticipated Encyclical on the Environment (Laudato Si’) by Pope Francis was released this week. The pastor spends this homily praising the work and encouraging his listener to READ it- all 65 pages of it (it’s on our website – www.stvchurch.org). According to the pastor (who has read the document) The Pope lapses into poetry on occasion as well as science (the document was thoroughly vetted by scientists before it was published.) It’s not a “Summer read” – it’s a do it NOW!
