Suggested prayer of spiritual Communion. 
Jesus, really present in the Most Holy Sacrament of the altar, since I cannot now receive thee under the sacramental veil, I beseech thee, with a heart full of love and longing, to come spiritually into my soul through the Immaculate Heart of thy most Holy Mother, and to abide with me, thou in me, and I in thee, in time and in eternity. Amen.

Out of concern for the common good and care of the vulnerable in our community, Archbishop Eteinne suspended all Masses. This important step will seriously impact our weekly collection. Like most parishes, 90% of our revenue comes from the generous support of our faith comunity. This generosity supports the basic operations (payroll, utilities, maintenance, etc.) and ministries of our church.

To donate to your Parish, you can drop your donation off at the office , mail it, or donate directly online by clicking

Most Pure virgin, you are the health of the sick, the refuge of sinners, the consolation of the afflicted and the dispenser of all graces. In our weakness and discouragement, we appeal today to the treasures of your divine mercy and goodness, and we dare to call you by the sweet name of Mother. And please intercede for our very special needs. (To deliver us from coronavirus and all illness). Yes, O Mother, attend us in our infirmity, give us bodily health, so that we may do our duties with vitality and joy, and with the same disposition may we serve your Son Jesus and give thanks to you, health of the sick.
Our Lady of Good Health… Pray for us.
St. Joseph…   Pray for us.

Coming Holy Week.
 
My dear friends in Christ ...
 
  In two weeks we are celebrating Holy Week and there is sadness for me since we will not have until now the permission for public celebration of the most important mysteries of our Christian faith such as the life, Passion, death and resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ; as we also hope that all this terrible situation be over soon.
   This whole situation of the Covid-19 changed the way we live and communicate ... suddenly we woke up one day and everything changed. In Disney World the magic died outֶ; Lovers no longer came to Paris; the Chinese wall was not so strong; now New York is quiet and sleeping; and no road wants to lead to Rome…
   And suddenly we realized of our fragility. We do not know if the damage was on purpose or if it was our irresponsibility, but the threat is there stronger every day, we laugh with the memes to avoid crying, because they have taken away the handshakes from us; hugs and kisses became dangerous weapons; and the shortage of products shows us once again how selfish we are, so selfish that we say: "no problem, this sickness attacks older people" as if we did not have our parents or grandparents or if we were never going to get there.
   We want to assert our rights to decide whether or not to let the “other” live, and now we realize that we cannot even decide for our lives.
  A planet that today wears a mask not only for protection but to cover our vulnerability mixed with pride. And it washes its hands so as not to recognize irresponsibility, just as Pilate did one day.
   Yes, there is fear. Yes, there is isolation. Yes, there are panic purchases. Yes, there is disease. Yes, there is even death. But they say that in Wuhan after so many years of noise, today you can hear the birds singing again. It said that after a few weeks of silence the sky is no longer full of smoke, it is blue, gray and clear. They say that the empty streets of Assisi people are singing from their houses and their balconies keeping their windows open so that those who are alone can hear the voices of the families around them.
  They say that a hotel in the west of Ireland offers free food and home delivery. Today a young woman I know is busy calling her neighbors so that the elderly has someone to call. Today churches, synagogues, mosques and temples are preparing to welcome and protect the homeless, sick and tired.
  In all the world people are slowing down and reflecting. All over the world, people look at their neighbors in a new way, but I don't know here in our midst. In all the world people are waking up to a new reality, how big we are to understand how little control we really have and waking up to what really matters: love.
  Yes, there is fear, but there must be no hatred. Yes, there is isolation, but there does not have to be solitude. Yes, there are panic purchases, but there must be no selfishness. Yes, there is disease, but there must be no disease in our souls. Yes, there is even death, but we can always be reborn in love…
  So wake up your way of choosing how to live today. Breathe, make a pause in your life, pray to God, ask for his guidance and listen behind the torment of your fear, that He is alive and that He loves you and that He has given His life for you.
  The birds sing again, the skies are clear, spring is already here, but the most important thing is that we are always surrounded by love. So open the windows of your soul and your spirit and although you cannot step on the empty streets and the lonely churches; please sing, pray, love and live your Holy Week to the fullest, marked with the presence of God in your life..
Happy Holy Week.
Fr. Milhton.

Virgen pura, eres la salud de los enfermos, el refugio de los pecadores, el consuelo de los afligidos y la dispensadora de todas las gracias. En nuestra debilidad y desánimo, hoy clamamos a los tesoros de tu divina misericordia y bondad, y nos atrevemos a llamarte por el dulce nombre de Madre. Intercede por nuestras necesidades especialmente. (Liberarnos del coronavirus y todas las enfermedades). Sí, Madre, atiéndenos en nuestra enfermedad, danos salud corporal, para que podamos cumplir nuestros deberes con vitalidad y alegría, y con la misma disposición podamos servir a tu Hijo Jesús y darte gracias a ti, salud de los enfermos.

Nuestra Señora de la Buena Salud ... Ruega por nosotros.
San José…    Ruega por nosotros.
