Dear Friends
After almost two years of the pandemic, we are not out of the woods yet. Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, the successor to St. Peter, has reached out to the world once again. He recently offered beautiful words of wisdom, as he alone can do: “Each of us has a responsibility to care for ourself and our health, and this translates into respect for the health of those around us. Health care is a moral obligation. Sadly, we are finding increasingly that we live in a world of strong ideological divides. Frequently people let themselves be influenced by the ideology of the moment, often bolstered by baseless information or poorly documented facts. Every ideological statement severs the bond of human reason with the objective reality of things. The pandemic, on the other hand, urges us to adopt a sort of "reality therapy" that makes us confront the problem head on and adopt suitable remedies to resolve it. Vaccines are not a magical means of healing, yet surely they represent, in addition to other treatments that need to be developed, the most reasonable solution for the prevention of the disease.”
Masses that are televised (EWTN, Boston Catholic Television, etc.), live-streamed by computer or broadcast by radio, are specifically designed for people who are not yet ready to attend live liturgies. Recorded parish Masses are now available on a limited basis. Check here for information.
A word about stewardship. The parish needs your continued support to be able to meet regular financial obligations. If at all possible, please continue to give. If you would like to try online giving, please click the "Online Giving" button at the top of this page or call Sandy at 536-4700 between the hours of 9 AM and noon, Monday through Friday.
If you are registered in the parish and we have your email address, a copy of the Bulletin will be emailed to you weekly. Please read it for important information. The Bulletin will be published on this site as well.
Together let us continue to pray for each other, for our nation and the world for healing, for peace and an end to this pandemic.
God Bless,
Fr. Leo
