Hello Everyone! Here is your weekly update:

  1. Thank you to the planning team, the Knights of Columbus, music ministry, and various parish groups for all of their involvement and hard work to make the Fatima Statue Visitation a great success! It was such a blessing to pray together and invite Jesus and Our Lady to draw near! Let’s continue to invite and honor them into our homes and hearts as we continue to walk the life of faith together.
  2. Much has been happening on the campus between the cleaning and preparing of the classrooms for another school year, replacing one of the roofs on the school building, cleaning up the landscaping, some work in the rectory (new carpeting and paint in the conference room and offices), work in the daycare, and many other projects. Thanks to our facilities committee and maintenance crew, the grounds and capital needs are being well taken care of. Thanks to the committee and Dennis Yarmesch and his crew for all of their hard work.
  3. This week on Friday, the 26th, is the feast of Joachim and Ann (Mary’s parents). They would be great intercessors for any grandkids in need or away from the practice of the Faith. Here’s a prayer that could be helpful:

My family is the heart of my life. It is my little Church. Saint Anne, guard the members of my family against all physical and spiritual danger. You lived in the presence of your husband Joachim and your little daughter Mary. Later, you welcomed your son-in-law, Saint Joseph, and above all your beloved Grandson Jesus, our Saviour. May your family inspire our families. May we remain united in a deep mutual love. If my family is broken by separation or divorce, remain for us the Saint of Tenderness and lead us to God. Saint Anne, you were a spouse, a mother, and a grandmother; bless all the members of my family. Keep us faithful to the Lord. May we remain attentive to the needs of other families. Protect all families. Amen.

Fr. David
