A Prayer in Time of Pandemic   

O God,  whose Only Begotten Son bore the weight of human suffering for our salvation, hear the prayers of your Church
 for our sick brothers & sisters & deliver us from this time of trial. Open our ears & our hearts to the voice of your Son:   "Be not afraid, for I am with you always."  
Bless all doctors & nurses, 
researchers & public servants;  give us the wisdom to do what is right & the faith to endure this hour, that we might gather once again to praise your name in the heart of your church, delivered from all distress & confident in your mercy.
Through Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Don’t fall for the Gift Card Scam! 
Sadly the pandemic has been an opportunity for scamers. Local pastors have experienced a scam email claiming they needed gift cards.
We remind you that the parish would only use normal & ordinary means to communicate
any requests, particularly for donations. 
If an email looks odd, Hit DELETE! 

The month of June is dedicated to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus! ⁣We all have access to the heart of Jesus who laid everything out for us on the Cross.
In His Most Sacred Heart is found perfect kindness, mercy, compassion, true justice, freedom, pure Love, joy, peace, and hope.

July 17-18, 2021 Fr Brennan will join us to share his experience with Unbound."All my life I have been blessed with opportunities to learn and serve. None of them were the result of my personal plan. Now, I want to be of service to people who never had opportunities that I had. I am very blessed and grateful." — Father Brennan

I want to share Unbound with you! I support the work this amazing organization does around the world and I’d like you to consider joining me. We believe that people living in poverty can overcome the challenges they face when we all work together. Thank you for helping me make a difference!
