Effective immediately, masks required for all, vaccinated and unvaccinated, in Parish buildings.
from the desk of FR Russell (January 2, 2022)

Pope Francis reminds us that peace, often lacking in our world today as voices cry out for justice an, is both a "gift from on high" and "the fruit of a shared commitment". God is always offering the gift as we hear at Mass:. "Peace I give you, My peace I give to you"; but if the 2nd part is lacking, our shared commitment, so is peace lacking.

Pope Francis offers us in his World Day of Peace message three paths for building "lasting peace" in shared commitment: dialogue between generations, education as a means of forming free and responsible people, and work to foster human dignity. As we enter a New Year we pray for peace in our hearts and work for peace in the world through common effort, sharing gifts, and patient dialogue.

In Christ, Son of Mary,
Fr. Russell
