Episode #4854 Harvest is Plenty-the Laborers Few

Father Anthony with Cristina and Tony regroup today after the weekend to discuss the goings on, and people in the Parish.  Father greets everyone and chats regarding events of the last week, the school closing being one of them.  He offers a recap of the life of the school as it went through its enrollment challenges to the large community support providing hundreds of thousands of dollars to support enrollment through scholarships via the Kostka Kids Fund.  Despite the huge efforts to maintain the school it succumbed to closure and the community is suffering through a “death” as they mourn the closure.  Father Anthony turns to prayer and then to the gospel reading from Sunday to address the “harvest is plenty…the laborers are few”.  He unpacks the gospel reading and focuses on drawing attention to the need to focus on growth and renewed ongoing focus on the parish now that the school is closed.   St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish
