An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament of the altar.
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. -

Note from Father Tom
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
These days have been challenging and inconvenient. We face them with the Lord, who did not run away from pain and suffering. His endurance and fortitude was powered by his faithfulness to his mission and his love for us. Let us also persevere with a willingness to endure the present suffering with charity and concern for the well-being of our neighbor. Invite the Lord to be with you as you continue the Lenten discipline. Our hope is in the power of the Cross and the victory of the Resurrected One. You are in my prayers!
Fr. Tom

This past week, especially, email messages have been sent out by scammers using Fr. Tom's and Fr. Peter’s names requesting gift certificates to be used for a current emergency. These messages are not from us. · Be suspicious of any messages that request money over the phone or by email. · Examine the originating email address and verify if it is the correct address of the person from whom the message claims. · Sometimes the syntax is awkward or incorrect within the message of a scammer (use of tenses, grammar, punctuation…) · There is a story that sets up a false, unusual need.Read More
