1. Fr. Patrick’s Holy Homework
OK, it’s been a week! How did you do on Fr. Patrick’s suggested daily holy homework for this week.
Pray:
“Jesus, where am I discouraged?”
“Jesus, how do you want to encourage me?”
2. Fake e-mails – again!
Yesterday Dcn Paul received an email from someone posing as Fr. Patrick. The email asked for a favor. Fortunately, the email return address was a rather odd one; clearly, the email was not from Fr. Patrick! BEWARE OF FAKE EMAILS!
3. America Magazine article on a 1955 controversy
Yesterday America Magazine published an article looking back at the controversy. Here’s one paragraph from that article [you can click on the button below to get the entire article].
Mamie Till Mobley mothered a son, Emmett Till, whose dead body sparked a national outcry. In August 1955, Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African-American boy from Chicago, was visiting relatives in Mississippi. In a local grocery store, he spoke to one of its proprietors, Carolyn Bryant, a 21-year-old white woman. Her husband, Roy Bryant, and his half-brother, J. W. Milam, shortly thereafter abducted Emmett Till from his great-uncle’s home, savagely beat him, shot him and sank his body in the Tallahatchie River. Three days later, his mutilated body was discovered.A Mother’s reflection on 1955 story

Our Masses are: Saturday, 4pm; Sunday 11am. The 11am Mass will be livestreamed. Click on the button below for viewing the Mass. [Videos of Masses from prior weekends are also available at this site.]Click Here to View Mass via Video If you did not register (by noon on Saturday) to attend Mass in person and you still wish to attend a Mass at church this weekend please:
- park in the parking lot a little ahead of Mass time,
- go to the parking lot side entrance,
- and ask the staff at that doorway if there is still available room.
If there is room in church they will do a check-in process for you. Based on the slightly relaxed directions from AOD there is now more space available in the church to attend Mass in person.
