Dear Friends in Christ,
During these weeks that lead to Easter we are called upon to embrace the pillars of Lent: prayer, fasting and almsgiving. I hope that you are inspired to Live the Gospel and grow closer to the Lord through your personal and communal Lenten discipline.
I also would like to thank you for your attention to the 2016 Our Catholic Appeal. Our parish assessment this year is $780,000. I need your assistance in helping us to achieve this goal. Thank you for your reviewing your resources and praying about your gift to this year’s Our Catholic Appeal.
When you come before the Lord this week, please whisper my name to the Almighty. Know that I will also remember you, your loved ones and your intentions. We may not see each other each day but may we meet each day in our prayers!
In Christ,
Very Rev. Stephen D. Parkes, V.F.
Pastor
