We March Forward Together to a Bright Future

This week we restart our regular Mass schedule. Everyone is invited to come to Mass every Sunday. The passes for Mass are no longer necessary and we will end the week A and week B schedule. We are also aware that our bishop continues to dispense us from our Sunday Mass obligation. I want to encourage everyone to continue to wear masks in church so we can safeguard a healthy environment.

I Bend the Knee Again!

Once in a while it is important not to discuss any one serious issue, but simply say “THANK YOU!”

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your kindness and generosity to our parish community especially during this pandemic. Thanks to all of you and all your efforts, we have been able to meet our financial responsibilities and even put money into savings.

I Am So You Can Be Too

Today is Good Shepherd Sunday. Everyone loves Jesus as the good shepherd. Of course, we do.

The good shepherd will ultimately find us and carry us back to safety where we can pick up with the feeding in green pastures where we left off. Nice! Not a care in the world for those lucky sheep.

HAPPY EASTER! 2021

This is my prayer for you: that you feel hope in your hearts. Our Lord’s resurrection is the culmination of the message of hope that he brought to our broken humanity. It is a hope that says that darkness and every form of sin will never have the last word. It is love that will always dispel everything that is dark in this world. It is love that will conquer fear and worry. It is love that erases and dispels our human failings and sins. It is love that will always prevail and conquer. The resurrection of our Lord, Jesus,...
