We are happy to announce that we are able to resume our ministries in person and on the Church property.  This includes the Church, Faith Formation Building, Youth Room and Parish Offices. 
Lori sent out the request and materials for groups to plan and submit their calendars for July 2021- June 2022.  Although these events begin in July, the Faith Formation Building is open for your group meetings and activities effective immediately.  I am in the process of resuming coffee and donuts in addition to all of our routine liturgical functions.  Please have patience as we reestablish and reorganize our ministry schedule.  This is a very exciting time for our community and resuming our active parish community. 

We will follow the instructions of Cardinal DiNardo regarding the COVID safety guidelines which is that masks are encouraged but not required on the Church property.  Disinfecting is left to the discretion of each individual in attendance of meetings and events.  Each area will be supplied with disinfectant spray, paper towels and hand sanitizer. 

Please contact your staff liaison if you need further assistance, or have any questions.  I celebrate and give thanks for this moment in our parish life!  God bless you all!
 
Blessings,
Fr. Ryszard Kulma

Did you know that Catholics can make an Act of Spiritual Communion?

The most common reason for making an Act of Spiritual Communion is when a person cannot attend Mass. Acts of Spiritual Communion increase our desire to receive sacramental Communion and help us avoid the sins that would make us unable to receive Holy Communion worthily. When unable to receive Holy Communion, pray the prayer below during the communion segment of the Live Streamed mass:

A prayer for Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the Divine Power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits, who wander through the world for the ruin of souls, Amen
