We might not always feel good ourselves about the difficulties we face in our lives and in the world, but the truth is that the Lord is good and He is with us through it all!

This week, I want to provide you with a special invitation and an awesome opportunity to support Catholic education at St. Mary School and in our diocese!

Happy Mother's Day! What a wonderful opportunity we have this Sunday to be grateful for the gift of our moms.

May is Mary's month, and it is a time to honor her in our Church by reverencing all the good things Christ is doing in our midst.

Mother's Day is the perfect day to honor the connection between Mother and child and start our baby bottle fundraiser on May 7th and end on Father's Day, June 19th.

I hope you all celebrated a wonderful Easter last Sunday with your loved ones, and are enjoying the Maple Festival this week!

Happy Easter to all of our parishioners along with their family and friends who are visiting this weekend!

I wish to invite you once more to come to confession if you have not had the opportunity to celebrate this Sacrament during Lent, and to participate fully in the Triduum celebrations this week.

I hope you take full advantage of the remaining days of Lent to prepare your heart for welcoming our Risen Lord in the Easter Season.

This week I celebrate my 8th complete month with you as Administrator. I feel immensely blessed to be called to shepherd our parish along with Fr. Spisak and our deacons.

St. Mary's and St. Patrick's Church are in the second month of the Adopt-a-Baby program.

Stay strong with your fasting, prayer, and almsgiving with trust that the Lord will do great things through our small sacrifices.

This Second Sunday of Lent recounts the Transfiguration of Jesus.

Know that the Lord has good things in store for you as you make space in your heart for Him through fasting, prayer, and almsgiving.

As we approach the Lenten season beginning this Wednesday, I want to encourage you to start thinking about ways you can fast, pray, and give alms this year.

Can you believe that Lent is right around the corner? I am so excited to begin this Holy Season with you beginning on March 2 with Ash Wednesday.

Now that the holiday surge is over with the pandemic, I wanted to share a few updates and reminders on that front.

I am always surprised at how God uses the weakness of our nature and transforms it into an instrument of His glory.

And as we journey together Pope Francis has asked us all to pause, and engage in a discernment process called: SYNODALITY.

Please pray for the conversion of hearts and lives so that those affected by abortion in any way may find the healing they need and deserve...
