INTENTIONS OF FR. KELLEY

IN GRATITUDE FOR HIS SERVICE

By A Parishioner

SR. LUCIE SAYS

“Our help is in the name of the Lord, who

made heaven and earth.” The Psalm refrain

is used this weekend. At times, this truth

about help from the Lord may cause us to

think that God has forgotten us. He never

does! We, however, at times may have our

doubts. . .violence and evil of all kinds sur-

round us., yet the Psalm assures us the Lord

will guard our comings and goings both now

and forever. Alleluia!!
