Dear Students and Parishioners:

I want to thank you for your prayers for my recovery!  At the moment I am going on day five with no voice.  This strange bug has given me a world-class cough and also taken away what people tell me is a distinctive and loud "radio voice," reducing it to a mere whisper. It's strange not being able to speak, and I am amused that when I whisper something, people whisper back to me!

When I am able, I will get back out there where I belong, but for now, daily mass this week will be spotty. (I thank Deacon Chris for helping with some communion services.) We are looking for priests, but area clergy are already overbooked, and a couple of local brothers are also sick and recovering.

I would ask for your prayers for the health and speedy recovery of our liturgical coordinator, Mrs. Joan Rakowksi.  Joan took a spill while walking her dog the other day, and is now recuperating from some surgery. 

Fr. John Love

Pastor
