Picnic Mass for the

25th Sunday in Ordinary Time

at the Border Town Parishes

September 21, 2025

Celebrated at St. Patrick's Grotto

St. Patrick's Church - 119 N. Market Street

Momence, IL 60954

So many times in the scriptures (especially in the Prophet Amos, which is our first reading today), we focus on what is WRONG with the world and what will lead to our doom. In today's gospel, Jesus speaks about how the cunning in this world benefit from their cunning in the world and our Lord's desire to wish that the righteous would strive for holiness just as diligently as the cunning do in the ways of sin. Fr. Pete's homily references what is GOOD in our community and how the community grows by living the gospel message and sharing that love with the world. This striving has allowed us to eliminate our debt and receive visitors throughout the world who come to marvel at the holiness we share with others!
