Pray with Pope Francis

"Dear Heavenly Father, during this month, we pray that you bless all those from diverse religious traditions and all people of good will, that they may work together to produce real peace in our world. Lord, we also pray that during this year dedicated to consecrated life, you would renew all religious men and women with the joy of following Christ. Fill all in the consecrated life with zeal, especially as they strive to serve the poor."

During the cold and flu season all parishioners are reminded to use common sense. Those who are ill are not obligated to attend Mass and should stay home to recover. If you are at Mass and feeling ill, please refrain from taking Communion from the chalice. We also ask that those who are not well refrain from offering your hand to others at the sign of peace. We pray for the health and recovery of all who are ill and who could not be at Mass. For more information, visit the website of the U.S. Catholic Bishops: Influenza and the Liturgy.
