For-Giving
Deacon Andy Cirmo
I have often been hurt
Yet through Your pain You healed us
I have often been offended
Yet through Your disappointment You consoled
I have often been wronged
Yet for all of us You wrongly suffered
I have often turned away from You
Yet You never stopped Your total love
I have often been disappointed
Yet after all I have done You lift me up
I have often taken Your Love for granted
Yet your love remains boundless
I have often offended and left You
Yet You always have remained present
I have often held on to my anger
Yet Your consolation is eternal
Thank You, Dear Jesus
For giving Your human life for my soul
For giving eternal love and forgiveness
For giving all I have and will ever need
Help me to have a heart of forgiveness
Deacon Andy C. gave a wonderful homily last weekend. We received many inquiries about the book he mentioned.

7th Annual Rosary Rally for Peace
October 10 | 12 PM | Parish Front Parking Lot
Honoring Our Lady Appearing to the Children of Fatima
As in 1917, Mary asks us to pray the rosary and make sacrifices to bring peace. Human efforts have failed to solve America's problems. We turn to God, through His Holy Mother, asking His urgent help. Let us join together and pray for our parish, our families, and the nation!
Because of the pandemic, we are doing our Rosary Rally for Peace a little differently this year. We encourage you either to:
- bring your own chair and sit socially distanced from others
- stay in your parked car with the windows down
