Becoming the Christians

We Are Called to Be

The Christian life is not a destination we reach overnight, but a lifelong journey of conversion. Christ continually invites each of us to grow in holiness, allowing His grace to shape not only what we believe, but how we live, love, and serve.

A mature Catholic Christian is formed through a life rooted in prayer, nourished by the Sacraments, guided by the Gospel, strengthened through charity, and lived in communion with the Church. These are not separate goals but expressions of a life centered on Jesus Christ, who remains the heart of our faith and the source of every grace.

The reflection below highlights five essential dimensions of Christian discipleship:

• Prayer & Sacramental Life – Remaining rooted in Christ through daily prayer and the grace of the Sacraments.
• Moral Life – Living with integrity and allowing the Gospel to shape our daily decisions.
• Social Justice – Seeing Christ in our neighbor and serving with compassion, mercy, and love.
• Peace of Heart – Cultivating the virtues of humility, forgiveness, hope, and the peace that comes from Christ.
• Faith Community – Worshipping, growing, and serving together as members of the one Body of Christ.

As Father Bryan Kuhr begins his ministry at Our Lady of the Mountains, this reflection serves as an invitation for all of us to renew our commitment to Christ and to continue growing together as His disciples. May the Holy Spirit guide our parish family as we seek to live lives marked by faith, virtue, charity, and joyful communion with one another.

First Friday & First Saturday

July 3rd - July 4th

First Friday Mass

Friday, July 3 • 9:30 AM

Honor the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, whose infinite love was poured out for us on the Cross. Join us for Mass offered in reparation for sin, in thanksgiving for His mercy, and in response to His invitation: "Behold this Heart which has so loved mankind."

Overnight Eucharistic Adoration

Following the 9:30 AM Mass on Friday through the 8:30 AM Mass on Saturday, July 4. Spend time in the peaceful presence of Our Eucharistic Lord. Whether for a few moments or an hour, come and keep watch with Christ, offering your prayers for our parish, our families, and the needs of the world.

Parishioners are invited to sign up in the Narthex to serve as guardians during this overnight vigil of prayer and love.

Why First Fridays?

The Church has long honored First Fridays as a special devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, encouraging the faithful to receive Holy Communion and make acts of reparation for sin. In addition, every Friday throughout the year remains a penitential day, reminding us of Christ's saving sacrifice on the Cross.

"The penitential days and times in the universal Church are every Friday of the whole year and the season of Lent."
— Code of Canon Law, Canon 1250

Farewell Celebration

June 21st after 11 am Mass

"A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."

— John 10:11

With grateful hearts, the parish family of Our Lady of the Mountains invites you to join us as we celebrate and give thanks for the ministry of Father Tri.

Over the years, Father Tri has shepherded our parish with a pastor's heart, a joyful spirit, and a deep love for the people entrusted to his care. Whether offering comfort during times of sorrow, celebrating life's greatest joys, sharing a laugh in the parish hall, or proclaiming the Gospel from the altar, he has touched countless lives through his kindness, compassion, and unwavering faith.

Father Tri's warmth, accessibility, and genuine care for others have helped make Our Lady of the Mountains a place where people feel welcomed, valued, and loved. His fun-loving spirit, ready smile, and joyful presence have brought life to our community and reminded us that the Christian journey is one of both faith and joy.

It is especially fitting that Father Tri's final Mass at Our Lady of the Mountains will be celebrated on Father's Day, Sunday, June 21, at 11:00 AM. As we honor fathers on this special day, we also give thanks for the spiritual fatherhood Father Tri has shared with our parish family.

Following Mass, all parishioners are invited to a Farewell Celebration in his honor. Join us as we gather for a meal, share memories, and offer our heartfelt thanks and best wishes as Father Tri begins this next chapter of his priestly ministry.

Please come and help us celebrate a beloved pastor, faithful shepherd, and dear friend.
