Greetings from Fr. Dave

This weekend I am speaking in my homily about developing deeper trust in God and in his plan for our lives. Fundamental to living lives permeated by faith in Jesus, is knowing that God is intimately involved in all the details of each of our lives. Nothing is happening to us or around us by mereaccident.

Bishop Barron challenges us to internalize and live fully these four premises. I suggest you memorize these and include them in daily prayer as a reminder!

Our usual ramp up for school is fully underway with lots of new twists and turns. Along with St. Cecilia and St. Pius, we are using every opening in the governor’s plan to allow for in-person education. I am proud of our teachers for the flexibility and adaptations they are showing as we continue to explore options. Please be praying for all who are involved in education, and of course for students. A lot is at stake!

For those of you watching our weekend Mass online, you noticed the changes made last weekend. We have hired a media expert to help us with filming, editing, acquiring the right equipment, installing it, and training our folks to run it! Joshua is using three cameras and helping us present a much more dynamic and engaging recording, soon to be live streamed. Because so many in our parish are having to “attend” Mass online each week, we have seen the need to invest in better technology and presentation.

And, in our continued efforts to do everything possible to create the safest possible facilities, we have contracted to have ionizing air purifier filters installed in the church, school, portables, offices, and Food Closet. This is the same equipment widely used in doctor offices. Please know, we are taking your health and safety seriously!
