Dear Parishioners,
This is the fifth Sunday on which we have not been able to gather together for the Eucharist. I’m sure
you feel the absence as your parish priests do, also.
We have the consolation of a chapel in the rectory and are blessed with the sacramental presence in the
tabernacle, and we can enter the church to offer mass each day. This, the Divine Office, the rosary and daily
meditation keep us focused.
You know that you and your intentions are uppermost in our prayers, and you may certainly call the
rectory to ask for prayers for yourselves and your loved ones.
I came across the following prayer in the National Catholic Reporter and I think it might be helpful
during these days of the pandemic.
Prayer For a Pandemic
May we who are merely inconvenienced remember those whose lives are at stake.
May we who have no risk factors remember those most vulnerable.
May we who have the luxury of working from home remember those who must choose between
preserving their health or making their rent.
May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their schools close remember those who
have no options.
May we who have to cancel our trips remember those who have no safe place to go.
May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market remember those who
have no margin at all.
May we who settle in for a quarantine at home remember those who have no home.
As fear grips our country, let us choose love.
During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other, let us yet find ways to be
a loving embrace of God to our neighbors. Amen
My brother priests and I will do whatever we can to assist you within the bounds of all the precautions of
the pandemic.
On a very joyful note, you may have heard that our neighbor, Father Kevin Sweeney, the pastor of
St. Michael’s Parish, has been named Bishop of Paterson, New Jersey. While we are sorry to lose his presence
here in our diocese, we are thrilled with Pope Francis’ choice. We promise him our prayers.
