Before being admitted to a hospital for surgery it is advisable to
call the Rectory and arrange a time to receive the Sacrament of the
Anointing of the Sick. Please contact the Rectory regarding
communion visits to the homebound.
Funerals It is the responsibility of the parish to bury their
dead. The funeral director will contact the Rectory Office
regarding arrangements. Funerals are ordinarily celebrated at 10am.
According to Diocesan policy, if family members wish to offer
eulogies, they should do so during the wake. #382 of the General
Instruction for the Universal Church states: At the funeral Mass
there should as a rule be a short homily, but never a eulogy of any
kind. No specific offering is required in connection with the
funeral liturgy.
New Parishioners welcome! Please call the Rectory Office to
register.

Dear Parish Family, Across the world, 2020 will certainly go
down in history as a very difficult year, to say the least!
Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, our Holy Father, Pope Francis,
and our Bishops have tried to keep us focused, to give us hope, and
to strengthen our faith. What a blessing our Catholic faith has
been. We are a family, and we are in this together. Pope Francis
said: “How many people every day are exercising patience and
offering hope, taking care to sow not panic but a shared
responsibility. How many fathers, mothers, grandparents, and
teachers are showing our children, in small everyday gestures, how
to face up to and navigate a crisis by adjusting their routines,
lifting their gaze and fostering prayer. How many are praying,
offering and interceding for the good of all. Prayer and quiet
service: these are our victorious weapons!” While pointing out the
seriousness of the Coronavirus, Pope Francis looked on the bright
side: "It's a beautiful opportunity to creatively rediscover
affection. May the Lord help everyone to discover new ways, new
expressions of love, of living together in this new situation.
Let's pray for families so that the relationships within the family
at this moment might flourish always for the good." Christmas is so
great a Feast, like Easter, that one period of 24 hours is not
enough time to celebrate. And so, the Church gives us the Octave
Days of Christmas to help us focus on the beauty and profound
meaning of Christmas. Each day of the Octave week is seen as the
same thing as Christmas itself. Today is the Third Day of the
Christmas Octave, and it is celebrated as the Feast of the Holy
Family. Holy families, and families striving for holiness are all
around us. But, there is only one Holy Family ~ Jesus, Mary, and
Joseph. Perhaps it is clearer to say there is only one family which
deserves to be called "the holiest family." As the family has come
more and more under attack in the last 40-50 years, our Holy
Fathers and Bishops have embraced the opportunity to speak on
behalf of the family. In Pope Saint John Paul II’s 1994 Letter to
Families, we find these profound words: Mary and Joseph became the
first models of that fairest love which the Church continually
implores for young people, husbands and wives and families. Young
people, spouses and families themselves should never cease to pray
for this. How can we not think about the crowds of pilgrims, old
and young,
