POPE FRANCIS’ PRAYER TO MARY DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at
the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm. You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need, and we are sure you will Provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we
may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will
of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried
our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection. Amen.
Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.

WELCOME TO OUR PARISH
Lacy Marie Raymond Dinis Daughter of Jerson & Ashley Dinis
With great enthusiasm our parish community rejoices with
those who celebrated the Sacraments of Confirmation and
First Eucharist this month. Such an important moment in the life of our parish should give us all a chance to reflect upon our commitments made when we were baptized and confirmed and the
opportunity to renew and deepen these in the Eucharist.
Please continue to pray for them and their families.
