ALPHA ONLINE REGISTRATION

26^th Sunday in Ordinary Time – September 26^th / 27^th   2020






 

Dear Parishioners of North Central Windsor Catholic Families of Parishes,

Monica Worline, a research scientist at Stanford Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education says, “When we’re under severe stress, we go back to coping patterns that are familiar and very hardened in us, and we have a hard time seeing that there’s any other way to do what we’re doing. We think we’re right and others are wrong.” Many times, over the past 14 weeks I have had people complaining about our staff, volunteers and even the priests’, that what we are doing as a Church is wrong. I can tell you honestly that as your Pastor, I am following every Government and Diocesan restrictions and regulations to a tee! Whether we like it or not, we must all be obedient to these “new rules for Church” or we will pay the consequences. Our staff and volunteers have been working very hard to implement all our changes and protocols and they are striving to keep everyone safe in this time of uncertainty. I appeal to everyone to please be open and compassionate and exercise the virtue of patience when being directed or given instructions by our staff and volunteers. This global pandemic is affecting our families, our community, our organizations, our church, our staff, our schools, our volunteers and parishioners. For those who have chosen to return to church can we continue to pray for one another and support each other in a more positive way? For those who have chosen to remain home from Mass during this pandemic, can you pray also? Together, united in Solidarity of Prayer, we will get through these very difficult and challenging times. Mary, Mother of God, pray for us.

An Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, 
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. 
I love You above all things, 
and I desire to receive You into my soul. 
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally, 
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
