Deacon Ward's Almost Daily Message

Today, we pray for Fathers Thomas Mattison and Msgr. Reid Mayo of our diocese…and also for 
Deacons Cliff Chagnon and Tom Cooney .


“Eternal Father, we lift up to you these and all the priests and deacons of the world.
Sanctify them, heal and guide them.
Mold them into the likeness and holiness
of your Son, Jesus, the Eternal High Priest.
May their lives be pleasing to you. In Jesus' name, we pray."  Amen.

Today, I leave you with
a very well presented and very important
message that we all need to hear.
Bishop Robert Barron explains how social media can be a mean-spirited 
platform. Virulent comments prevent
fruitful and evangelical conversation...
which is a violation of both 
charity and justice.
Take a few minutes to hear from
Bishop Robert Barron; 
this is something 
we all need to hear.

 In His peace.

I know it's been a while  since I've posted,  but there hasn't been a whole lot to bring to you regarding  Church announcements.  And, since this is an  "Announcements" blog, I will  only post when there  is something significant to bring to you.  You can stay  up t o  date with announcements by checking the weekly Church bulletin and by going to the Mater Dei website.
