A. Today’s Special Items
1. Fr. Patrick’s Holy Homework
Memorize and declare Luke 4:18-19, the mission statement of Jesus, which is ours as well!
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me
because he has anointed me
to bring glad tidings to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to let the oppressed go free,
and to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.”
Memorize it, declare it, and ask the Lord for the grace to live it like never before!

3. AOD Easter Season Study of Acts of the Apostles
A great way to enjoy Scriptures during the Easter Season!!!! I (Dcn Paul) have to admit that one of the books of the Bible that I treasure the most is the Acts of Apostles. Holy coincidence! The Archdiocese is offering an internet series during the seven weeks of the Easter season. Briefly, they’ll send us materials once a week that we can use to study the Acts individually … or we can form small groups to do it together.

6. You are Invited; You are Welcome; You’ll be Safe!
Please join us in person at Mass. We’re so happy to welcome you back! We’re being diligent about keeping you safe by following our Covid-19 protocols which include:
Things the church is doing:- Running our six (6) medical-grade air purifying units in the church before and during mass thus removing bacteria and viruses, including the Covid virus, from the air.
- Cleaning and sanitizing the church after Masses.
- Providing hand sanitizer throughout the church for your use, as needed
- Taking your temperature as you come into the church. (Please do NOT come to mass if you are feeling ill or running a temperature.)
- Bringing Holy Communion to your pew (Fr. Patrick, a Deacon or an EME comes to you).
Things we ask you to do:- Registering yourself for mass (by noon on Saturdays) and including your phone number so that we can call you should someone report a positive test for the Covid virus.
- Wearing a mask at all times over your nose and under your chin (everyone two and older).
- Maintaining a 6-foot physical distance between you/members of your household, and others not in your household, both in the pews and in other seating areas, before and after mass.
7. Lifting Our Prayers
Let us lift our prayers for:- Those we have not seen for some time
- Those on our parish prayer lists
- Our family members, both far and near
- Our present and past co-workers
- Those who have no one to care for them
- Yes, even our enemies!
