Reduced Public Office Hours
The parish is still open. We, however, are reducing the hours when we are open to the public. We will be open M-F 8:30am-12:30pm. This is to reduce the amount of traffic in the office. In an effort to keep everyone as safe as possible, we need to limit the number of people congregating in the waiting area, so calling ahead is a good idea.
If you need something in the afternoons, please call the office ahead of time and we will find a way to meet your needs. Thanks for understanding, and, again, if you need anything just call ahead! 751-4235
Sacrament of Reconciliation
If you would like to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation, please call the Parish Office, 751-4235, to schedule an appointment with Fr. Chris.
| The Raising of Lazarus 5th Sunday of Lent
John has some of my favorite stories of Jesus. This week we hear about Lazarus’ death, and Jesus’ reaction. We see the full divinity of Jesus on display! Jesus is journeying to Jerusalem to his death to inaugurate the resurrection of all, and makes the defining and divine pronouncement, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.” But we also see Jesus at his most human – Jesus wept. This is a most basic, human reaction! This is a trying and difficult time. Everyone is struggling and the world is topsy turvy. It’s comforting to know that as great and divine and cosmic the Lord is, he is also very personal and relatable – sharing, understanding, and knowing at the deepest level our human experience, and walking with us every step of the way.
Please keep an eye on the parish website for upcoming announcements. We’ll continue to post Mass, other items, and links to keep us all connected on this most Lenten of journeys. My favorite image of the Body of Christ is that each of us is connected to Christ in a unique way, and through him connected to one another.
-- Fr. Chris
