19th Sunday of Ordinary Time

I invite you to read about and reflect more deeply on the lives of the Saints. These men and women help to learn to live in readiness to greet the Lord. Each of them is unique, and each uniquely pointed others to Christ. That is equally our call in this life. And it all becomes more possible to the extent that we encounter Christ, especially in the Eucharist through Mass and Adoration. 

Please pray 

• In Thanksgiving for a new Bishop, and for all the folks who made his reception possible and for a combined community excellent Liturgy.
• For Bob, our head landscaper, who recently had a stroke.
• For an increase of parishioners receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Regular Participation at Mass.
• For transformative experiences of Christ during Mass. 
• For faith filled representatives in government.
• For the working poor in our parish community.
• For our Capital Campaign: Bold Faith.Bold City

 Do you need the parish community to pray for your intentions?  
                  Email office@icjax.org and let us know.

Renovation & Repair – Updates:

•  Organ – No Change, still on schedule.
•  Rectory / Office – All is going according to schedule… except the fundraising! 

 
Speaking of fundraising:

• A few can’t give financially. Don’t feel bad. Do pray for our needs.
• Most can't give to everything. Don’t feel bad. Do give as the Holy Spirit leads you.
• Everyone can and ought to give something.

 
Thank you to parishioners and ‘Friends of the Basilica’ for your continued material and prayerful support.  We benefit from the sacrifices, prayers, and material support of past generations.  Future generations of Catholics will benefit from yours!
