note FroM the Pastor 04/01/2020Dear Parishioners,

I pray that you and your loved ones are doing well. We stay strong together in prayer. It’s amazing how beautiful we are. Thank you for all the prayers, initiatives, desires to stay in touch. Thank you for joining Mass, visiting the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, your financial support and so many other acts of kindness.

Due to the Corona Virus pandemic, all communal reconciliation services have been cancelled. You may schedule individual confessions with the priests if you would like to do so.

I loved how some families during yesterday’s Sunday Mass followed the regular Mass postures from home! I invite you to be engaged as you participate in Mass. Make it special. Get dressed, don’t have your coffee with you, and set yourself in your best prayer mode.

I want to share with you a schedule of upcoming online activities for the parish.

NOTE: For all meetings the Host will mute all participants. Please Do Not unmute yourselves until host indicates that it is time to share questions or reflections.

El anfitrión de la reunión pondrá en silencio el micrófono de todos los participantes. Por favor no habilitar su micrófono hasta que el anfitrión lo indique/permita.
