Spiritual Response to COVID-19 Resource Page
Welcome!
You have each been through such a roller coaster these past weeks! It has been difficult to keep up with all of the updates, and they just keep coming. I want to let you know that you have been in my prayers in a special way, especially at Mass and when I pray the rosary. With so much turmoil, where do we turn? Well, now that public Masses have been cancelled, as well as the Adoration Chapel and parish ministries, that question is more important. We are making the best (I hope) of this situation, and have a few plans in place:
- The Mass will be celebrated daily and will be available from our website and YouTube channel.
- The church will open daily for personal prayer from 8:30am-8:30pm, please check back as these times may change.
- We have devotional items such as holy water, blessed candles, rosaries and prayer books, for you to take home. They are in the gathering space.
- Reconciliation is cancelled at this time, please keep checking our website for updates. In case of emergency, Reconciliation can be requested by calling the parish office.
- If you are in need of Anointing of the Sick or Viaticum, please let Fr. Thế or I know and we will do our best to arrange to celebrate those Sacraments.
- Our great staff is still working! Please reach out to any of us with your needs, prayer requests, or for a conversation.
I want to remind you that all of this is still dependent on your generosity. Please consider signing up for automatic giving or mail your envelopes to the office. Thank you!

Yours in Christ,

Fr. Will Thompson
