RRR Church Renovations Project Update
We’re excited to share the latest progress on our RRR Church Renovations Project! The architect has now contracted all the key consultants—mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and lighting engineers. They are currently working on specifying materials and incorporating all the details into the construction drawings. These drawings will be submitted for approval to the City of Chino and will guide the contractors through the remodeling process. This project phase is on track to be completed by the end of the year. Please continue to pray and support the RRR project.

27th Sunday in Ordinary Time (October 6): Matthew 21:33-43
Gospel Summary:
In this parable, a landowner plants a vineyard and leases it to tenants. When he sends servants to collect the harvest, the tenants abuse and kill them. Finally, he sends his son, thinking they will respect him, but the tenants kill the son, hoping to take his inheritance. Jesus uses this parable to symbolize how God sent prophets, and eventually His Son, to Israel, but they were rejected. The landowner’s punishment represents the consequences for rejecting God’s messengers and Son.
Reflection:
The parable warns against rejecting God’s gifts and calls to repentance. The tenants represent those who abuse their power and reject God’s offer of salvation. Jesus’ message is a clear warning to the religious leaders of the time, but it also applies to anyone who takes God’s grace for granted. The vineyard is a metaphor for the Kingdom of God, and those who fail to bear fruit through their actions will lose their place in it. Christ, as the cornerstone, is essential to building a life of faith and righteousness.
Reflection Questions:
- What does it mean to “bear fruit” in your life of faith?
- How can you ensure that you are honoring God’s call and not rejecting His message?
