 FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Fr. Jim's Jots

Dear All,

Special thanks for your prayers, Mass cards and gifts for a memorial fund on behalf of my mother, Patricia Arsenault. My family wishes the funds to be used to help the Social Ministry Outreach, to help those in most need.  I am also sure my mom would also be pleased to help those in need.  Blessings for your kindness and generosity.  As of this date, the funds are about $1000.00.

This weekend, we welcome Black History Month.  We have much to learn from our Black fellow Americans and our parishioners.  I am delighted we will continue to reach out and work to end racism and continue a dialogue to end the sin of racism.  We pray for healing to address the persistent sin of racism which rejects the full humanity of all God's children.  We pray for a new sense of community that embraces and celebrates the rich diversity of ALL.  I give thanks for our parish and in a special way our members of our Social Justice Committee who are so helpful in this effort.

Blessings,

Fr. Jim
