After Mass on Sunday, I will be traveling for class in Chicago.  This will end the 2nd year of training in Spiritual Direction.  I will begin my last year in April.  I really look forward to this course as it is helping me to be a better Spiritual Director.  Please pray for all who will be attending this course and helping with it.  There will be emergency coverage, please call the office and leave a message and someone will be checking it periodically.

You might have noticed now our combined parish office will be open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8:30am - 2:30pm.  So if there is something that you need help with, please contact the office during that time.  You can always leave a message at any other time and someone will get back to you. 

I really appreciate knowing if someone is in the hospital, or if someone is having surgery.  Please let me know so that we can make sure to get you, or your loved ones, anointed.  I can tell you that many times, I do not know when someone is or was in the hospital or having surgery until after the fact.  Please let me know.  Sometimes the hospital forgets to let me know.  So if you or your loved ones are in the hospital, let me know so that the Anointing of the Sick and Communion can be brought.  Thank you!

Please also feel free to invite people to come to our parish mission.  It looks like it will be a great thing.  We all need sometime to renew, refresh, heal our relationship with God.  Our parish mission is intended to do this and much, much more.  Make time to come and hear what the good Lord is trying to tell you.
