Dear Parishioners,

Please join us the weekend of March 26, 2022 to hear Rev. Glen P. Baptiste speak at all the services about a ministry providing direct relief to the poor throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

Father Baptiste will share personal witness about Food For The Poor’s mission to care for the destitute as a means of living out the Gospel mandate to love one another.

Fr. Baptiste is incardinated in the Diocese of Montego Bay. Before preaching on behalf of Food For The Poor, Fr. Glen taught at St. Louis University, served as an associate pastor in Missouri and served as Rector of the Cathedral Church in Hamilton, Bermuda.

Please join me in welcoming Father Baptiste.

HELP WANTED

Eucharistic Ministers are needed on Sunday mornings to bring the Eucharist to some of

our fellow parishioners who are residents of local convalescent homes.

If you can devote as little as an hour a month, your gift of time will make a great

difference to our

brothers and sisters in the Lord.

THE BENEFITS ARE HEAVENLY.

Please see Deacon Bill or call the parish office if you are interested.

“Let the children come to me”

is taught at the 10:00 A.M. Mass. Children (ages 3 and up) are called forward before the

readings and led to the Sacristy.

Children will return to their parents for the Liturgy of the Eucharist.

Please contact Mary Tracey

at Marytracey@hotmail.com with any questions.

On the first Sunday of each month, Father Dunn will conduct a Children’s

Liturgy at the 10:00 a.m. mass.

The homily will be tailored so children will understand God’s word.

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in

battle, be our defense, against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God re- buke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince

of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into Hell Satan and the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

Our parish is offering an additional option for giving to your church. Online-Giving is avail- able for parishioners who would like to make do- nations online. As technology continues to pro- gress, there are more ways that these advances can be utilized for the well-being of our parish.

While I understand this means of giving may be met with some hesitation, let me assure you that it is fully secure and private and you are in com- plete control of the process. Your information is solely yours and appears no where else but in your hands.

The reasons for Online Giving are many:
