Jesus, you are the great discerner of my heart.
Help me to shed my old self and commit my
journey to saying yes to you. You love me more
than I love myself. Thank you for loving and
tenderly pursuing all of me. Strengthen and
inspire me to devote not only my outward
actions but also my interior life entirely to you.
God, help me to trust you always. Speak Lord,
for your servant is listening.
Please pray for all seminarians. Your prayers and
support make a difference.
Help in creating a culture of vocation

REST IN PEACE
† Ron Oppenheim, husband of Marie
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace.
This week we begin Holy Week,
the most solemn time of our
church year. On Thursday we
will end Lent with the celebration
of the Last Supper when Jesus
instituted the Eucharist and
Priesthood. On Friday we will
observe the passion and death
of our Lord and then Saturday
we will celebrate Easter and
welcome new members to our
Christian community. Our
liturgies are scheduled for 7pm
on Thursday, 7pm on Friday, and
8:30pm on Saturday. If you have
never been to the three nights of
the Triduum, I highly encourage
you to come.
Because we are expecting
more people that we can seat
with social distancing, I would
like to remind everyone of the
diocesan COVID policy. If
parishioners cannot social
distance in the church during
Mass, they are to wear a mask.
Please remember this in the
coming weeks because we will
most likely be taking down some
of the ropes on the pews.
Peace and God Bless,
Fr. Doke
