Are you on our Parish Email List?
Our parish sometimes sends emails to parishioners with information such as the Christmas and Easter schedules or other important messages. During this time when parishioners are unable to attend Mass and parish activities have been cancelled, we are using email communication to stay in touch.
Let Us Pray Together
The world is in need of prayer and we ask all in out parish to unite in prayer, even though we are physically separated. At certain times during the day, Fr. Walden is inviting all those are able to join him in prayer.
Fr. Walden will follow this program until the threat is over. How good and easy it is to pray together for our own needs and the needs of all the people of our nation and our world at this time.
We are Here to Help!
Not only is the coronavirus a serious health crisis, it has brought about economic hardship as well. Please know that our Parish Outreach office is open from 9:30am to 2:30pm, Monday through Friday, should you be in need of food or other services.

Finding Peace, Hope, Love and Strength
Now that we have turned the clocks ahead, we have at least an hour more of daylight before the sun goes down and even in the morning the sun is coming up a little earlier every day. As we read weather reports we see the one thing that we can know for sure is when the sun will rise and set. Some weather reports tell us that there is a forty or fifty percent chance of rain. At times we hope to see that the sixty or fifty percent chance of no rain will happen instead. The readings for Sunday speak about sight, both physical sight with our eyes and mental sight with our minds and hearts. As a nation at this time, we feel we are in darkness. Churches are closed, schools are closed, businesses are closed, and we are told avoid crowds. While is it prudent and necessary to take all the precautions we can to avoid the coronavirus, the whole atmosphere we live and thrive in every day is now filled with worry, tension, and concern. Whenever our normal routines are changed unexpectedly beyond our control we long to SEE a light that will bring us at least hope if not back to our normal routine. While we take our physical ability and gift of sight for granted, we also want peace and a remedy for what causes us to see sadness, disappointment, tension, and fear in our lives.
