Is there a place I can find future liturgical readings?

[Deb_Shininger]

My parents are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary next year. Their 10 children and 40+ grandchildren are planning an evening Mass and reception July 17, 2010. Could you tell me what the first reading, second reading, and Gospel are for that weekend? This information will help us plan the liturgical music approprate to the readings.

Since July 17, 2010, is a Saturday and you are planning an evening Mass, the readings would be the Sunday readings for July 18, 2010. Here is a web site that offers a liturgical calendar and gives the readings for dates in the future. For the Sunday readings on July 18 of next year, the site lists as the readings for the U.S.:

Readings for Mass

First Reading: Genesis 18:1-10
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 15:2-3, 3-4, 5
Second Reading: Colossians 1:24-28
Gospel: Luke 10:38-42

I recommend you check the link given above to see if you will be in a special area of the U.S. that may have different readings than those listed here. Also, please be aware that the links given here are to an online Bible source. The readings from the missal may differ somewhat. You can look up the readings in the missal by searching for the Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time.
