Greetings!
It is interesting to note that every year the Week of Prayer for the Unity of Christians coincides with the celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. When you look at the two, there is one thing in common– they are both about a cry for unity. Although the Christian faith has different denominations, all are invited to look at ways to be united as one Body of Christ. In the same manner, the MLK holiday is a remembrance of Dr. King’s call, not only for an end to discrimination and racism, but also to recognize our equality – that all of us are God’s children, and thus, must be united.

God Bless,
Fr. Ritche

Continual Phishing Attempts
There are email phishing scams going around that involves an email (fake) from the Bishop or priest asking for money, typically in the form of an iTunes gift card. If you happen to see an email like this, please delete it immediately.
On occasion, we do send information about the ADA appeal, Priest Retirement, or similar, but we would never request donations via gift cards. Thank you for your continued support.
