Prayer of St. Cyprian
Almighty God, we are reminded through your servant St. Cyprian, of your Spirit always within us and Your continued presence in us, and of our oneness with You and the Church. May we always grow together and profess You in Faith, Unity, and Hope. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we ask this through Christ our Lord
Amen!
From The Pastor’s Desk
May the God of peace and blessings come down upon you as you journey toward His Kingdom!
Remember, the month of November is recognized as Black Catholic History Month. It was established by the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus. This month is to highlight the contributions of Black Catholics to the Church. Take the time to read up on Black Catholics and their historical contributions: Fr. Clarence Rivers; Fr. Cyprian Davis; Sr. Cora Marie Billings; Sr. Thea Bowman; Dr. Norman Francis. You will be enlightened by these servants of God.
Today, we welcome Zachary Pelletier, seminarian from St. Charles Seminary. He will speak to us about the Seminary Appeal. Please be generous as possible to this appeal.
Soon I will offer an update on our Church building. An engineer will be out to inspect the outside of our Church and the tower. This is being done as the result of the “Micro-burst” that came through back in July. Once this assessment is done, I will share the results with you.
Keep our parishioners in prayer, including our homebound parishioners and those who have not returned to Church.
Don’t forget to participate in out Parish Bible Study every Thursday morning. You can join in person at the rectory or via Zoom at 10AM.
The Gospel story for today’s Mass reminds us to stay awake and ready yourselves for the coming of the Lord. We cannot take life or God’s blessings for granted. Each is important as we continue our spiritual journey. May we stay awake in prayer, charity, and wisdom.
Peace and Blessings,
Msgr. Dr. Britto
