My dear parishioners, I’m keeping you ever in mind and heart as we navigate through difficult times. St. Therese (the “Little Flower”) tells us that St. Peter’s most important life-lesson was when he learned to ask the Lord for the very first grace! Follow the example of Peter. Whenever any challenge presents itself to you, pause and ask our Lord Jesus Christ for the “first grace”. Our savior will not fail to grant it. Pray for one another and for your unworthy pastor. “The Lord goes before you. He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed”! [Deu 31:8] Sincerely in the hearts of Jesus and Mary. Your pastor, Reverend Richard Barker +++

***Pastor's Important Message *** September 22, 2019 Dear Parishioners, another flood. There are no words for this.  But we give thanks to God for his unsearchable ways and countless blessings.  God's Holy Spirit is our consoler and friend.  Today, Sunday, is for our parishioners' rest.  I am very grateful for all who turned out yesterday to work in difficult conditions. Thank you to Andrea Wight who brought food! Service Master is at work now.  The pews are being removed and elevated.  The dryer trucks will be here this afternoon, and the Church will be cooked for a few days.   Let's all pray one Hail Mary and thank our heavenly Father for his love.   In Christ our Lord, Father Barker
