Mission

We, the parish of St. Isidore the Farmer, are dedicated to growing a life-long Catholic community. Believing in the Risen Christ, we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to celebrate the Eucharist, to be nourished by the Word of God, and to serve the needs of the local

and worldwide community.

Stewardship

In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells Peter again and again “ If you love Me, feed my sheep.” He says the same to each of us, “If you love Me, use

the gifts I have given you to serve your brothers and sisters.”

Vocation View

How am I being called to feed the lambs of Jesus?

(John 21:1-19)

Year of Mercy

Feed the Hungry! Thanks to all who participated in the April meals provided to the Catholic Worker House this past week.

Clothe the Naked is our next project on July 10th. Stay tuned to the bulletin and Social Justice page on the parish website for more information and to get in-volved.

Prayer of Mercy: Lord Jesus Christ, you have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father, and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him. Show us your face and we will be saved. Let us be your visible face in the world. Send your Spirit, and consecrate eve-ry one of us with its anointing so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord, and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed and restore sight to the blind.

We ask this through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy, you who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, for ever and ever. Amen
