Join Us on Tuesday from 12-12:45  for Reflections on Jesus with Fr. Peter Wojcik, Archdiocese Director of Parish Vitality and Mission.  We will watch the 10 minute video he recorded for us, then discuss a few questions, ending promptly at 12:45.  Since we needed to cancel our Evening of Reflection with Fr. Peter because of COVID-19, we decided to try it virtually.

Shelter in Faith - Let's Help Little Sisters
Our neighbors at Little Sisters of the Poor St. Mary's Home are in a world of hurt and need our help.  Residents have been affected by COVID-19, and many of the lay caregivers are afraid to come to work, leaving the sisters to attend to the daily needs of the over 70 elderly in their charge. 

First and foremost, the sisters need our prayers. They are also in need of paper towels, tissues, and disinfecting wipes.

Since they need to bring meals to the residents on trays, Sr. Carolyn suggested that we create cheerful small placecards (see below) with phrases like: "Jesus loves you", "Good Morning", "Enjoy Your Meal", etc.  An index card (3x5) folded in half or cardstock cut to size would work well.

If you are able to help, please sign up here.  Please bring your items directly to Little Sisters of the Poor St. Mary's home on Lakewood, just South of Fullerton, and drop them at the front door.  We want to provide the sisters a steady stream of supplies, but if you would like to drop yours off earlier, feel free.

Thank you so much for your prayers and generosity!
Prayer for Little Sisters
Heavenly Father,
We ask you to be with our friends at the Little Sisters of the Poor St. Mary's Home as they go through this difficult time. We implore you to send them your blessings to remain healthy and for those affected to get well soon. Please send your courage to the caregivers so they can continue to serve the elderly residents. Send them your protection and your unending support. We ask you, Father, to help this loving community who has always been so devoted to doing your will. We ask this in your Holy Name. Amen.
Please Join Us!
