Lord of our journeys, you walk with us in seasons of darkness and light, even through the valley of the shadow of death.

Reflect, today, upon the depth of your faith and knowledge of the Messiah.  Do you believe in Him with all your might?  Have you allowed Jesus to reveal His divine presence to you?  Seek to discover the “secret” of His true identity by listening to the Father speak to you in your heart.  It is only there that you will come to have faith in the Son of God. – from catholic-daily-reflections.com To view this week’s bulletin, click HERE.  ...

The statue will be similar to the depiction seen when signing up to attend weekend Masses. The......

I have received word from Archbishop Blair that as of September 1, 2020, Saint Damien of Molokai Parish will welcome the former Saint Gertrude parishioners as part of our parish. This is obviously a very painful process for the parishioners of Saint Gertrude. In many ways it is like a death for them with a genuine necessity for them to grieve.
