May Greetings from Fr. Ross

We are already past midway May and in the Easter Season. May we keep the hope and promise of the Lord’s Resurrection always in our hearts, especially in the trying times in our own personal lives, in our city, in our country and in our world. The Pillars of our Faith: Prayer, Fasting and Works of Kindness will remind us that our God is always very near and points out to us the way for lasting Happiness and Peace. May we all continue to remember that our God, who is our loving Father, truly cares for us and wants to be a part of our lives as we celebrate the Easter and Spring Season. May we all give witness, individually and together, by our care and kindness toward others, that Jesus is truly risen and truly with us as he promised

We continue to celebrate our daily Masses (8:00 AM) and our weekend Masses in person and online, Saturday at 4:00 PM and Sunday at 8:30 AM, 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM.

For an End to Violence

As we hear about the shooting in Buffalo and around our country and throughout the world, we need to continue to storm heaven with our prayers. We pray for all who have been killed or wounded. We pray for the people of Ukraine who have lost their homes. We pray for all who are helping and protecting. We pray for a change of heart for those who perpetrate, promote or condone violence. We pray that we will all be instruments of peace.
