Dad Talk - Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle A)

By: John Bursch - Sun, Jul 26, 2026 12:09 PM

In this Sunday's first reading, Solomon receives a great gift—wisdom. But just because God gives us the capacity to do His will does not mean we'll always follow it. And Solomon is a perfect example of that. We'll review his story and its lessons plus the importance of treating our salvation like a treasure or pearl of great price in this week's Dad Talk. Please share with a friend, and God bless! Dad

✝At its July meeting, Anchor Bay Council 5981 voted to purchase a K of C grave marker for Former Council Chaplain, Fr. Nick Zukowski.

Nick used to say that” He became a Knight before he became a Priest” and we think Father would love having the K of C flag fly next to where he is laid to rest.✝️🙏
