My dear parishioners, wishing you every blessing on this Palm Sunday. As usual I will be blessing Palm crosses today as I’d already had them on order, but they will not be available to anyone until the current pandemic has cleared up. Although we have been dispensed of our Sunday obligation during these extraordinary circumstances we can still unite ourselves spiritually to Holy Mass and make a spiritual communion. I will provide some links to televised Masses below if you should wish to do this, but otherwise I would encourage you to spend an equivalent amount of time today in personal prayer in order to sanctify the Lord’s Day – since this is not something from which we are dispensed. Take time to read the readings of today’s Mass, to prayerfully reflect upon them, to pray the Rosary, and to remember all the special intentions that we have at this time: the dead, the sick, those caring for the sick, and those who help to keep our society up and running. God bless you and keep you and grant grace and good health to you and yours,
Fr. Martin
