Have you joined the Novena for the Protection of Human Life which begins on 1/21? Help build a culture that values life by getting the daily intentions, reflections and suggested actions. Another novena, for repentance & reparation of sins against the Eucharist begins on 1/24. How will we serve God?
With his apostolic letter on 12/8/20, “Patris Corde” (“With a father’s heart”), Pope Francis marked the 150th anniversary of St. Joseph being declared patron of the universal church. He proclaimed a yearlong celebration dedicated to Joseph, foster father of Jesus. Go to our News & Events tab to learn how to participate in the celebration.
What are your needs? Please call the parish center if we can help. We can at least offer prayer for you. We hope you will continue to practice charity by checking on your neighbors, offering prayers and supporting us with your offerings, which can be sent through US Mail or online.
This statement, issued by the Vatican, reminds us of our responsibilities, inter-connectivity and the call to solidarity.
We, your staff, will continue to
- pray for you and the whole world
- send by email a weekly letter which has the bulletin attached. (If you are not getting it, please call the parish office to update your information.)
- offer weekly Children’s Liturgy of the Word via Facebook Live
- also offer via Facebook Live the Mass (every day except Wednesdays and Saturdays). (You do not need to join Facebook to see this; it is open to the public.) All Masses end with an Act of Spiritual Communion.
- provide a link to the weekly newsletter, The Family Zone, available, thanks in part, to your donations to the Catholic Ministries Appeal.
If you wish to receive Reconciliation & Penance, a sacrament that needs to be celebrated annually (at least), please contact one of the priests to make an appointment or go to St. Michael’s on Saturday at 4pm. Reconciliation will be heard in the Chapel.
Our diocese continues to make many resources available to us. By making a donation to the Catholic Ministries Appeal this work can continue. View this short video about stewardship.
God bless you!
