Dear Parishioners ,
We are living in very strange and difficult times. The prayers of our parish community are constant and uninterrupted. We are praying for all of you and for our entire world. I know that it is difficult for all of us not being able to be present at our celebrations of Mass on Sunday and during the week. We miss seeing you. You are in our hearts. The sad reality is that it will be quite some time before we are all together again in our beloved parish church. This is a moment in our history in which we must all remain hopeful. Our faith and trust in God will guide us through this dark night.
St. Therese, our patroness will watch over us and deliver our prayers into the heart of our loving God. I am painfully aware that many of you may find yourselves in delicate financial situations due to loss of work. Your bills and the welfare of your family is a priority. Like yourselves we too are responsible for the upkeep of the buildings and utilities. During your absence we obviously are not receiving our full weekly collection. We are relying on your help to see our parish thorough these difficult days. For your convenience we have set up a GoFundMe page as an option. You can also mail your donation directly to us or set up direct mail from your financial instructions. Instructions are in the bulletin. All will be well my friends.
Stay well—keep strong,
Fr. Sam
