St. Faustina Weekly Update
This weekend, we continue with Phase I of our reopening, and we are excited to open for weekend Masses. We have taken a great number of precautions in the last week to provide the safest experience for all of our parishioners, and we encourage you to visit our website to learn about each of these precautions and expectations. As a reminder, we are inviting the parish to reserve a spot for the Mass of their choice this weekend to help us maintain our 25% attendance. You can reserve your spot at Eventbrite - and as of this email, there are still spaces available at each of the Masses. For your convenience, we have attached a digital version of this weekend's bulletin to this email along with the individual health protocol checklist. It is important that we all go through this protocol checklist before coming up to the Church for any reason.

Reflection on Sunday's Readings
Most of us have been either literally or figuratively lost at some time, not knowing which way to go, and feeling a surge of fear and panic. The Apostles in today’s Gospel were feeling lost, because Jesus had just told them he was going to leave them in order to be crucified and die. Thomas said what must have been in all their hearts: “We do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” Jesus’s answer might have been confusing. He didn’t give instructions or directions. Instead he told them that he himself was the direction. He said that he was the way, the truth, and the life.

Happy Mother's Day!
God our creator, we come before You and lift up in prayer all mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers and mothers to be who gave the gift of life. We give you thanks for their presence, talents and gifts which they share in our church, society and world. May all mothers know of Your loving and gentle presence and may they always turn towards You in times of joy, sorrow and glory. We ask this in Your Name.
Amen.
Amen.
