Uncertain times bring stress to everyone in different ways. At this time, along with attending to our spiritual life, it is important to consider the health and safety of everyone. Please follow the preventative directives that we are given by our state and national authorities.

Even though this a time for physical distancing, it can also be an opportunity for spiritual communion and social connection through electronic means. Please continue to pray for others and reach out by phone and other means to people who may feel isolated. Especially remember those who will have to continue to work and risk their own health and well-being to offer care for those in need.

This is a critical time for everyone around the world—especially for the most vulnerable. Please call the parish office if you have a need that the parish can respond to or we will direct you to help that is available.

Thank you for your understanding during these challenging times. God is with us, and I believe God’s grace will guide us as we face these challenges together. We will keep you in our prayers and ask for your prayers as well.

May God continue to bless you and guide you to be careful and wise in taking care of yourself and helping others in need.

The Peace of the Lord be with you always,
Fr. Joe Hannappel
