From The Pastor’s Desk

May the grace and blessings of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who light our path to eternal life, be with you!

I came upon a cartoon that read: “Where’s the delete winter button when you need it?” I don’t know about you, but I have been hitting the “delete winter button” for weeks. This winter season has shown us its bitter winter side. All we can do is hold on and endure what is yet to come this season. Stay warm and stay safe. Remember to make sure your smoke detectors are in order.

A special “Thank You” to Bill Danbury, our IT parishioner for setting up the “Live Stream” for last Sunday’s Mass. It allowed many of our parishioners and non-parishioners to view and participate in our Sunday Mass virtually. While live streaming Mass is good, it is important to be present in Church on Sundays. It is important to receive Jesus in Holy Communion.

This month, our country celebrates Black History Month. It is an important time to remember all those African Americans who impacted our country and history with their gifts, knowledge, wisdom, leadership, and vision. We must not allow our history to disappear or be forced to disappear. Read about prominent people who made a difference in our country and world. Celebrate Black History Month!

As always, remember all our parishioners in your prayers, especially our homebound and sick parishioners.

Last Sunday, our readings echoed the theme to follow Jesus Christ and to help him proclaim God’s message. This week we hear the message of Beatitudes and how we can be guided by it on our spiritual journey. May we always live our lives according to the Beatitudes.

Peace and Blessings,
Msgr. Britto
