TODAY, Oct. 26, is Priesthood Sunday, a special day to pray for all priests and show our appreciation for our parish priests. Please take time to let Fr. O’Shea and Fr. Downey know how much we appreciate their presence in our parish. Please also pray for all the priests in our Church around the world. O Jesus, I pray for Your faithful and fervent priests; for Your unfaithful and tepid priests; for Your priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields; for Your tempted priests; for Your lonely and desolate priests; for Your young priests; for Your dying priests; for the souls of Your priests in purgatory. But above all I recommend to You the priests dearest to me: the priest who baptized me; the priest who absolved me from my sins; the priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion; the priests who taught and instructed me; all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way. O Jesus, keep them all close to Your heart, and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity. Amen. -St. Therese of Lisieux
THE BLOODMOBILE WILL be here in our parking TODAY from 8:00am until 1:00PM. There is no substitute for blood, so please give if you can. Thank you!
