A Message from Fr. Paul - April 03, 2020
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I hope that you are keeping well amidst the COVID-19 pandemic! Our parish leadership team has been looking at how we can best respond to the spiritual, emotional and physical needs of our community. Fr. Rick, Deacon James and I have been calling all parishioners to see how they are doing. If you haven't received a call yet, please be assured that one is coming. We have been overwhelmed with the spirit of caring in our church. As we speak on the phone, over and over again, you are offering your help to those in need. Thank you for your compassion and charity!
During this process, we have realized that our communication lists are lacking and in need of being updated. Having a comprehensive list will ensure that we can send important news from the parish and from our Bishop. Every week, Fr. Rick or I are sending a reflection of hope; trying to bring some light into this time of darkness.
Can you help us out in building our communications list? Here is a link to a form we have created. It asks for your email address, phone number and cell phone number. This information will only be used to send you updates from the parish. You can choose to give as much information as you would like. As well, the form asks if you have any prayer intentions. Please be assured that Fr. Rick and I
will be lifting these up in prayer.
God is Good ... All the Time!!!
Fr. Paul
