If you are unable to come to Mass due to infirmity and would like to receive Holy Communion, the Sacrament of the Sick, or the Sacrament of Reconciliation at your home, please contact Deacon Phil ([email protected]) at the Parish Office. |

Pray with the Pope, September: For the care of water.
Water is a sacred gift that sustains life. We see a sign of God’s generosity in water. It quenches our thirst and makes the earth fertile. In Baptism, it becomes a symbol of his renewing grace. Taking care of water is also a form of safeguarding life and of recognizing that this resource belongs to everyone, without distinction. In his prayer intention for September, Pope Leo invites us to pray that water be protected so that we might learn to appreciate it with gratitude, justice, and moderation, and so that we might know how to defend the right of every brother and sister to have equal access to drinkable water. |
