Bulletin Article: June 20

Happy Father’s Day. This is especially an important celebration this year as we find ourself in the midst of the Year of Saint Joseph. May Saint Joseph intercede for all fathers that they may come to seek holiness in everyday life and model their self after Christ. The father’s role in the family is very important and Saint Joseph leads the way in giving an example of how to be a good husband and father. Saint Joseph, pray for all fathers.

Andrew Cooper will begin his role as Director of Development for our parish and school beginning tomorrow, June 21. I welcome him to our staff and look forward to working with him to further develop this position for our parish and school.

I thank the members of the Knights of Columbus who assisted with our parish cookout this past weekend. Our Knights council has been very active as of late and I cannot thank them enough for all that they do for our parish community. If you are are male Catholic in good standing with the Church who is at least 18 years of age I ask that you prayerfully consider joining the Knights of Columbus and become active with our council. The more men that we have who are involved the lighter the work will be for all. You can currently fill our a membership form on kofc.org in order to join our council.

Finally, I remind all of exposition, rosary, and benediction that we have on the 13th of each month from May-October. Therefore, the remaining schedule is July 13, August 13, September 13, and October 13 at 6pm. The reason why these dates were chosen was because these are the dates that the apparitions at Fatima happened. As was stated by Our Lady of Fatima: “Pray the rosary every day in order to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war.” We offer monthly rosary entrusting our parish to Our Lady of Fatima specifically for those effected by COVID-19, that people may return to Mass, and that our parish community may continue to grow in preparation of our parish celebration on September 12th. I ask that everyone put these dates on their calendar and make the sacrifice necessary to attend. If attendance is truly impossible please join us in prayer from wherever you may be. What great works could be achieved by this parish community if we trust in the power of prayer?

In Christ,

Fr. Dustin Collins
