Father Jim, Sister Lori and several parishioners recently attended a meeting with Fr. Bryan Zielenieski, Episcopal Vicar for Renewal and Development, during which initial components of the Diocesan plan for the Road to Renewal were outlined. We would like to share these ideas with parishioners at a meeting on Sunday, May 2 from 3 – 4 pm in the parish hall. In-person attendees must wear face masks and maintain safe distancing. If you prefer to be with us virtually, watch the livestream at fb.me/e/yzHo0btK. Click on this event to watch the live stream.
“Today’s verdict of accountability in the tragic killing of George Floyd is an important step in healing the deep wounds of racial tension caused by his senseless killing. The agonizing images of his confrontation with those sworn to protect and serve, and the final moments of life, will forever challenge us and must always compel us to create a more compassionate and just society, where all enjoy equal rights and protections under the law. I implore all who wish to demonstrate to do so peacefully and in ways that lead to greater understanding, dialogue and meaningful change. We pray for the family and community of George Floyd that our loving and compassionate God will ease their pain and provide them comfort.”
Roy was called home to the Lord, April 3rd to be with Annmarie, his loving wife of 64 years. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated here on Friday April 9th at 11 am.
