Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time - February 15, 2026


Keeping the commandments will save us, Sirach says in the first reading, for God's wisdom is infinite and all-powerful.  In the Gospel, Jesus expands on four commandments in particular laying out their implications and explaining the spirit of each.  For those who take the commandments to heart, the kingdom of heaven awaits.  Let s examine our consciences, conscious that we have the power to choose between good and evil, between life and death.


 Attention all grade school and high school students, boys & girls!! from all three parishes.  We are bringing back a tradition at the Polka Mass on Polishfest Sunday!  We will be singing a Polish song before Mass and then process as a group and sit together at Mass.  We will have practice for this song at St. Michael's after Mass on Feb. 22nd.  Elaine Konkel has graciously offered to teach the song.  Please RSVP to Judy (618-214-7209) by Feb. 15th if you wish to participate.  If there are others outside of the three parishes that want to join us, they are also welcome!!
