Do you find yourself sometimes getting down on the human race – all the problems in our world, the things that some people do? Do you find yourself sometimes getting down on yourself? How have these first couple of weeks of Lent been for you?
Take heart. God’s grace is at work in our world and in you. Each of us has the Lord’s own life within us. Right now, each of us is surrounded by God’s love.
Our parish is starting a prayer line. You can call the Parish Office with your prayer requests and they will be passed on to individuals who will pray for the person or intention. When submitting prayer requests for individual people, we ask that you only mention the person’s first name due to privacy laws.
With our joint bulletin and coordinated daily Mass schedules, we continue to build the linkage of St. John Paul II Parish and Christ the Good Shepherd Parish. Did you know that if you drop your envelope at either parish or at any parish within the Diocese, it will be routed to the proper parish for credit? Contrary to many rumors out there, NEITHER St. John Paul II Parish nor Christ the Good Shepherd Parish is closing.
Again, if anyone has any questions, please reach out to Fr. Ron or me.
Have a blessed week,
Fr. Matt
