A NOTE FROM FATHER STEFAN

Dear brothers and sisters!

I am very excited to announce that we will be reopening our parishes for public Mass on weekend of May 23rd – 24th, 2020. It has been a long time since we have celebrated the Eucharist together as a community, through the grace of God we will gather again around the altar of Christ.

Please click here for the complete letter containing the details.

“O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus' pain, keeping your faith firm. You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection. Amen. Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.”
