Dear Saint Mary Friends,
COVID Relief in India through Fr. Lourderaj and a wonderful Faith Formation event are highlighted in this newsletter. Also, today is the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and tomorrow is the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Two music videos for the days can be found below:
1. India COVID Relief
As some of you know, we have been having conversations with Fr. Lourderaj discussing ways in which we at St. Mary’s can help his Community of Norbertine Fathers address the surge of COVID in his native India. Collection baskets will be at the doors of the Hall and Gym to receive any donations parishioners choose to make. We will send the funds collected to the Norbertine Superior and give a full accounting to you the following weekend. The Superior has submitted a list of what they hope to accomplish through your generosity, and needless to say, are very grateful. Let us also keep them and their people in our prayers.
