To date 258 parish families are par-ticipating in the Annual Catholic Appeal. We have a participation goal of 514 families and hope everyone will help us achieve this goal.

Video Mass at SEAS While Father Lucero is receiving the Eucharist, please rev-erently say the prayer below:
An Act of Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

St. Corona (d.177 A.D.)
Patroness of pandemics, pray for us. Be with us today and everyday that we may be
freed from all bondages and healed from all infirmities. Intercede for the world that
God would extend His merciful hand of protection over it and free us from all sick-
ness and sin. St. Corona, help us to have trust in God’s plan and to surrender wholly to His Will for our life. Give us the humility to repent and turn our lives completely to Him. O Glorious martyr, pray that we may
find courage to stand up for God in times of light and darkness. Open our hearts that we may be generous and charitable and
help our neighbors in need. Teach us to be like Christ in all we do. Protect us, free us,

Teachings of the Church The Act of Spiritual Communion
How might we go about making a spiritual Communion? St.
Peter Julian Eymard (1811-1868), the French “apostle of
the Eucharist,” suggested the following format: “If you do
not receive (holy Communion) sacramentally, receive spirit-
ually by making the following acts: conceive a real desire to
be united to Jesus Christ by acknowledging the need you
have to love His life; arouse yourself to perfect contrition
for all your sins, past and present, by considering the infi-
nite goodness and sanctity of God; receive Jesus Christ in
spirit in your inmost soul, entreating Him to give you the
grace to live entirely for Him, since you can live only by
him; imitate Zacchaeus in his good resolutions and thank
our Lord that you have been able to hear Holy Mass, and
make a spiritual Communion; offer in thanksgiving a special
act of homage, a sacrifice, an act of virtue, and beg the
blessing of Jesus Christ upon yourself and all your relatives
and friends.”

Spiritual Works of Mercy
The Spiritual Works of Mercy The Spiritual Works of Mercy have long been a part of he Christian tradition, appearing in the works of theologians and spiritual writers throughout history. Just as Jesus attended to the spiritual well-being of those he minis-tered to, these Spiritual Works of Mercy guide us to "help our neighbor in their spiritual needs" (USCCA). The seven Spiritual Works of Mercy are listed be-low. After each work of mercy there are also suggestions and words of advice for living them out in our daily lives. Have your own suggestions for living out the Spiritual Works of Mercy during times of quarantine? Let us know at [email protected] COUNSELING THE DOUBTFUL Everyone has moments of doubt in their faith journey. Nevertheless, we should always remember that Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and turn to him along our way. Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may eventually become wise" (Prov 19:20) The Cross of Christ "the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength" (1 Cor 1:25) Has someone asked you for advice? Orient your response to Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Follow Christ with the witness of your life so that others may see God's love revealed in your actions. Accompany a friend who is struggling with believing to join a parish group for service or faith formation, share a book you found useful in dealing with your friend's faith concern, and worship at Sunday Mass. INSTRUCTING THE IGNORANT Learn about our faith and be open to talking with others about our beliefs. There is always something more to discover about our faith. Go on a service trip or short term mission trip. No time? Donate to support someone on their service trip Volun-teer to help with religious education programs at your parish. Invite someone to go to mass with you this week-end. Know your faith! Read through the USCCA to find out more about the Catholic faith and how to live it. BEARING WRONGS PATIENTLY Do not be bitter about wrongs done against you. Place your hope in God so that you can endure the troubles of this world and face them with a compassionate spirit. Frustrated with some-one? Step away from the situation, take a few deep breaths, pray the Our Father, asking God for patience.
ADMONISHING THE SINNER Do not judge, but be sup-portive in helping others find their way and correct their mistakes. Together we can learn to walk more closely with Christ. In humility we must strive to create a culture that does not accept sin, while realizing that we all fall at times. Don't judge, but guide others to-wards the path of salvation (see Mt 7:1-2) When you correct someone, don't be arrogant. We are all in need of God's loving correction. We should journey together to a deeper understanding of our shared faith, "Remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother's eye" (Mt 7:5) COMFORTING THE SORROWFUL Be open to listening and comforting those who are dealing with grief. Even if we aren't sure of the right words to say, our pres-ence can make a big difference. Lend a listening ear to those going through a tough time. Make a home cooked meal for a friend who is facing a difficult time. Write a letter or send a card to someone who is suffer-ing. A few moments of your day may make a lifetime of difference to someone who is going through a diffi-cult time. FORGIVING INJURIES Forgiving others is difficult at times because we do not have God's limitless mercy and compassion. But Jesus teaches us that we should forgive as God forgives, relying on him to help us show others the mercy of God. Let go of grudges. Say-ing sorry is something we learn as kids, but how often do we really mean it? Forgiveness transforms hearts and lives. Participate in the Sacrament of Penance. Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet. PRAYING FOR THE LIVING AND THE DEAD Prayer is one of the most powerful ways we can support oth-ers. Joining together in prayer for the living and the dead entrusts us all into God's care. Request a Mass intention for a friend or family member who is going through a tough time. Request a Mass intention for a friend or family member who has passed away. Keep your own book of prayer intentions, writing down the names of those who you are keeping in your prayers. Ask a friend or family member if there is anything you can pray for them about. Through prayer, entrust your cares and concerns for those around you to God. Pray for the holy souls in Purgatory.
