From the Pastor

My Dear Parishioners,

I pray each day for all of you that you are healthy and well. Unfortunately, we have lost some of our long time, faithful Parishioners: we miss them and commend them to the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It is prudent and wise to begin to plan for the re-opening of our Parish Office and our beautiful Church. Presently, our Church building is open for private prayer every day from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. On Saturday's we have Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament from 10:00Am to 11:00 AM. Confessions are taking place every Saturday but in St. Ann's Chapel downstairs from 11:00 AM to 12:00 Noon. This change in location helps us in Social-Distancing. Please remember to close the door when you enter the Chapel and leave the door open after Confession when leaving.

Please use either the Parking Lot
side entrance or the Jackson street entrance where the doors are WIDE OPEN (so that you do not have to touch any door handles or crash bars). Please remember the 3 important facts when entering the Church: GLOVES, MASKS & Social-Distancing!
Praying and spending quiet time with our Lord Jesus in this time of our need is truly a great source of healing and Divine Grace!

"Come home my Dear children!"
Prayer in Time of OUr Common Need
