Fifteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time
Parable of the Sower
Introduction to the Liturgy of the Day
The setting of today’s Gospel may remind us of a warm midsummer day—maybe like today. Jesus comes outside and walks down to the sea. So many people gather along the shoreline that Jesus decides to go out in a boat and speak to the entire crowd from there.
Imagine yourself sitting on a beach on a beautiful day with hundreds of others, listening to the Lord teaching in parables. Through the power of imagination, we have that opportunity today.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
In Loving Memory of Mary Ann Guffey
During the last three months, Mary fought cou rageously through serious health challenges, striving each day to recover and regain her strength. On Tuesday, June 23,2026, she passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family.
Mary was a beautiful person and a truly remarkable human being. What I will remember most about her was her generosity, her spirit of service, and the way she always cared for others. She understood that life is not meant to be lived only for ourselves, but with and for one another. As pastor of Saint Mildred Catholic Church, I can say that our parish has been blessed with many wonderful people, and Mary was certainly one of them. Her kindness, support, hard work, and faithful prayers touched countless lives.
She will be deeply missed by all who knew her. We give thanks to God for the gift of her life and for the witness of faith and love she shared with our community. May the Lord reward her goodness and welcome her into His eternal kingdom. Rest in peace, Mary. You will be remembered with love and gratitude always. May our loving and merciful God receive you into everlasting life.
Amen, (written by Father Carlos)
