From The Pastor: 8-26-2018

“Master, to whom shall we go? 
You have the words of everlasting life!”

These words of Saint Peter in today’s gospel are in response to Jesus’ question whether they too shall leave him along with the many who turned away from him after his teaching on the Holy  Eucharist. It is Jesus alone who has the words of everlasting life. May we always stay close to him.

In the wake of the sadness, anger and disappointment at the release of the Attorney General’s Report, I think it is important for us in the parish  to begin to talk about this and share our thoughts and feelings. I would like to gather with all concerned parishioners on the following days:

• Tuesday, September 4: At 7 pm
• Saturday, September 8: After the 9 am Mass
• Sunday, September 9: After the Noon Mass

These town-hall meetings will meet in the Our Lady of Grace Meeting Space of the Saint Joseph Center (the former secretary’s office in the old parish office). I would love to have your ideas on how to move forward with healing but also in making real changes in the culture of the Church. I also would like to let you know what we do  here in the parish to safeguard our children. Please know that you are in my prayers!
