COVID 19 is still a virulent contagious virus communicated between people.  Everyone should remain conscious and alert that risks to either contract or spread the disease remain possible at any gathering of people, indoors or outdoors.

In these difficult times, I want to assure you that you are in my thoughts and prayers. You are being remembered daily in the intentions of my Mass and Holy Hour.

I just came back from Saint Mary Chapel where I celebrated a private Mass for the intentions of the day, for our parish families and friends, and of course for the end of the Coronavirus and healing of the sick.

God has not abandoned us and is present among us. As we learn each day of the growing concern surrounding the spread of the coronavirus in our communities, we need to have faith and confidence in God, especially in times like these, praying that He will see us through the present adversity safely.
