Mass Intentions From Fr. Flanagan
Dear St. Madeline Family,
“Arise - Restoring Catholic Life after the Pandemic” I feel it is best to start slowly and safely for everyone’s benefit.
I like that today is the feast of Charles Lwanga and his Ugandan companions. As we struggle with racial tension, senseless killing on a seemingly daily basis, a pandemic, sick people and tenuous times, we need good people like Charles and his friends, Achilio, Bruno, Kizito and Mugagga and each of us to continue to strive for holiness and peace among all peoples. It takes work, but when it comes to people, it’s more than worth it. Peace be with you, our friends and enemies alike. Church is getting reading for an anxious opening this weekend. We will have all the Masses available, and after meeting with Frs. Weber and Amal, I will post a confession schedule. Everybody must wear a mask and distance. Church looks and smells good and clean. We green-taped the pews for you to sit in and roped off the others. Today, let us also pray for an end to illness, racism and disrespect for life. Please contact me with any prayer requests, concerns or good news. Let us stand united in prayer and united as St. Madeline Church. God bless all. Peace,
Fr. John Flanagan
Arise: Restoring Catholic Life after the Pandemic “He has risen; he is not here; see the place where they laid him.”
