My dear friends of IHM,

I would like to update you on the serious condition of Fr. Thomas Lynch and the need for our prayers to continue unabated.

His family informed me Thursday night that Fr. Lynch’s doctors are trying to get him ready for a high-risk surgery that will probably take place by Monday. He needs to have his heart valve replaced due to the damage caused by a bacterial infection.

Please keep Fr. Lynch in your prayers and especially his dear Mother and brothers.

Therefore, Monday, January 11th following the 9:00 AM daily Mass we will pray the Miraculous Medal Novena and Rosary for Fr. Lynch. Also, the 7:30 PM Monday Rosary (outside) and 8:00-9:00 PM Adoration (inside) will be offered for Fr. Lynch’s healing, his family and his medical team. Both the morning and the evening will be live-streamed on the parish website.

God bless you,
Msgr. Luke Sweeney
