Dear Parishioners,
“Let us pray to God the Father Almighty,
That He may heal those who are suffering from the coronavirus infection,
Comfort those who’s loved ones have died,
Reassure those who feel isolated and afraid,
Relieve those who feel lost and despairing,
And console those who hunger for the Body and Blood of Christ.
Almighty ever-living God,
Sure support of all who suffer and mourn,
May the prayers of all who are in pain
Due to the coronavirus pandemic
Feel your loving mercy as a soothing balm to their hearts.
Through Christ our Lord,
Amen.”

Concerning Blessed Palms: With the executive order of staying at home now extended through April 30th, 2020 there will be no blessed palms distributed until after that executive order is lifted. Sorry about that. I am doing the best I can to keep us safely and lovingly together in watching these IHM Holy Week services, while wanting you to remain in good health and not leaving your homes.
It is all about adjusting to the very new and unfamiliar times in which we are living. BUT, let’s do this. Please open this website https://thedeaconsbench.com/a-beautiful-idea-for-palm-sunday/ and decorate your doors with any green branch, then take a picture of it and send to us at jbowling@ihmcfo.org and we will “montage” them for all to see on our website and IHM FACEBOOK page.
Many EASTER and HEALTHY blessings,
Father Jim
