September 17, 2020From the Pastor …
My friends, as we settle into the” new normal” at work, school, office, and Church, we still find ourselves unsettled and unsure of what tomorrow brings. I look forward to the day when we conquer our obstacles and unite at Eucharist as children of God. Our weekend numbers are steadily increasing; however, we are deprived of many of the social and community gatherings at meals and seminars.
In the meantime, I would like to focus on three things. First, many are still unemployed and experiencing trials that are stretching their limits. We are seeing an increase in depression, homelessness addictions and suicide. Let us pray with one another and help through prayer and sacrifice. We need to keep vigilant at Church and in the neighborhood for unusual behavior and address issues as they pop up.
Secondly, we begin Fall, and an increase of cold and flu. On top of the covid virus we need to be especially vigilant to maintain our health and wear our masks.
Third, we are celebrating First Communion and Confirmation Monday and Tuesday for the lower grades. Keep these children in prayer. The challenges they experience to maintain their faith is far greater than when society, schools and Church agreed with one another years ago.
God Bless, Fr. Don
