Dear Parishioners,
IN OCTOBER, as usual, at Sunday masses during the month, we will say the “Hail Holy Queen” instead of the “Hail Mary” in our prayers of intercession. Also, on Friday mornings after mass we will pray the Romero Rosary’s Mysteries of Charity. There will be a short scripture reading to help us meditate on God’s love for us, a brief reflection and then those present will pray a decade of the rosary. We invite those joining livestream to accompany us and everyone else to pray a decade sometime during the day in solidarity with us.
God Bless, Fr Doug
MARLENE BURT RIP:
