Bishop Barbarito has called upon all the faithful to pray for the health and well-being of Pope Francis. Let us join together in prayer, seeking God’s grace and healing for our Holy Father.

The USCCB has provided the following prayer:

O God, shepherd and ruler of all the faithful,

look favorably on your servant Francis,

whom you have set at the head of your Church as her shepherd;

Grant, we pray, that by word and example

he may be of service to those over whom he presides

so that, together with the flock entrusted to his care,

he may come to everlasting life.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you in the

unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

As many of you heard during the announcements at Mass, the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament is temporarily closed due to essential roof repairs. These repairs are necessary as a result of tornado damage, and the closure is being made with your safety in mind.

We understand this may be an inconvenience, but we are confident that through this process, our Church will be restored and strengthened. We will continue to provide updates on the progress of the repairs and will notify you when the Chapel is able to reopen.

Thank you for your patience, your continued prayers, and your unwavering support as we navigate this challenging time together. May God bless and strengthen us all as a community of faith.
