Daily Reflection:
Monday, June 22, 2020

My Fellow Parishioners,
 
Happy Feast Day!
 
Today we celebrate the life of our Parish Patron, Saint Thomas More.
 
There are many different ways and perspectives with which we can look at his life and his death.
 
He truly was a “Man for All Seasons!”
 
I am sharing with you one of those perspectives, his role as
a father, so appropriate for the day after Father’s Day. Click on the image below to read the article.
 
In a special way, today, we pray for all fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, and foster fathers and for all men who nurture the children under their care.
 
--Fr. Mike

June 22 is the feast day of our Parish’s patron saint, Thomas More. We had hoped to celebrate together in our Parish homes, just as we’ve done with dinners in the past, but things are different this year. Yet, that doesn’t mean we can’t still celebrate together!
