FATHER JIM'S JOTS

Greetings!!

This Sunday we welcome Msgr. Tom Miller for Sunday Mass while I am visiting in Michigan.  There will be a Communion Service on April 10th with Deacon Chris Barrett, but no Mass or Communion Service on Friday, April 12th as I will be traveling back to Richmond on Friday.

On April 28th, after the 10 a.m. Mass, we will have a Parish Potluck to celebrate all the people and different cultures that make up our wonderful Parish.  Please bring a dish that is important to you.  Maybe a family recipe or a dish from your culture.  To sign up you can visit the link that is on the other page of the bulletin.

This Sunday is Divine Mercy Sunday.  Divine Mercy Sunday is celebrated on the Sunday after Easter, which is the last day of the Easter Octave.

Let us pray the three prayers of the Divine Mercy Chaplet:

Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Easter Blessings to you and yours,

Fr.Jim, Pastor
