We’ve reached the end of the Month of Mary, and this year May 31 st happens to also be Pentecost. That doesn’t happen very often. It has fallen on this day only three times in the last hundred years. It’s a big deal!

Hello, everyone! These “Corona funnies” were passed on to me by one of our illustrious fellow parishioners and gave me a good laugh (we all could use a good laugh these days!).

Happy Pentecost! We celebrate the much-needed gift of the Holy Spirit on this day.

COVID-19 is bringing out a lot of good in people!

Here near the end of the Month of Mary we find ourselves at Ascension Sunday. Jesus’ mission to the earth has been accomplished; he returns to the Heavenly Father with great victory.

Our RCIA’ers: We are coming to the end of the Easter season. We celebrate the Feast of the Ascension this Sunday, and in a week, on the Feast of Pentecost, our new Catholics will enter the Church, finally making their sacraments as they should have at the Easter Vigil.

Hello everyone! The following reflection from the Direction for our Times ministry came across my screen this week.

Our Easter Season is nearing an end with the Feast of Ascension this weekend. The weeks seem a blur since we began our shut down early in Lent.

Remember those who died for our freedom

This month, I’m honoring the Month of Mary by revisiting Gospel stories about the Blessed Mother. John’s Gospel includes one of Jesus’ most famous miracle stories — and one of Mary’s moments to shine.

Lectio on Life: Lectio divina is using scripture to pray. And when we do this, we enter into a direct conversation with Jesus.

Hello everyone! Fr. Dave has been away on retreat this past week, which means all of us in the office have been sitting back, eating bonbons, and catching up on our TV talk shows and soap operas (Fr. Hans is partial to “The Young and the Restless”, after becoming disillusioned with the plot line on “Days of Our Lives”).

Well, we actually had live bodies present at Mass last weekend!!!!! I sure enjoyed reconnecting with those who were able to come.

What's the food situation like at the Food Closet? Read below for the answers.

This month, I’m honoring the Month of Mary by revisiting the Gospel stories about the Blessed Mother. Today, Mother’s Day, it seems fitting to look at a few of them through her eyes.

What the heck just happened? We went from our normal lives to a pandemic nightmare! Unemployment was down, things seemed to be humming, and then a virus knocked the world to it’s knees.

Hello everyone! The big news this week, of course, is the beginning of our return to in-person Masses! I can’t wait to start seeing all of you again!

We have been given the go-ahead from the Archbishop to resume Masses with a maximum of 25 persons at each Mass. In a parish our size this poses all kinds of challenges, so please be patient with us as we roll this out.

Happy Mother's Day!
