This is how we remember those that came before us

Fr. Ron reflects on today’s first reading form Sirach which praises Israel’s holy heroes from the past. Any time we gather in church, we should be reminded of those who filled the pews before; whose life and generosity are examples to us. 

We are mindful of them and they are in heaven mindful of us. Fr. Ron shares how we remember them on our memorial board in the back of church. This is a reminder not just for us praying for them, but knowing they are in heaven watching over us.
