PLEASE remember in your prayers the sick of the parish, including Joe Bicknell, Frank O Conner, Tom Craig, Shirley Hohrein, Amanda Panshoukian, Kathy O'Connor, Mary Katherine Romano, Maddeline West, Shawn Leahy, Dave Craft, Janice Grant, Lillian Herz, Rhonda and Otis Bain, Ellen Cimino, Ed and Mary Weatherby, baby Carter Harycki and his mother Claire Harycki, Jeff and Vivian Limbeck, Rob Demaris, and Francis Early. Pray fervently for peace in Ukraine, and Sudan, the Holy Land, and for lasting peace in Gaza, where innocent civilians have died in great numbers, as we also remember the hostages still in danger after many months. Pray for those in other troubled areas of our world, that the new government in Syria may pursue peace and justice, and for victims of violence everywhere. Remember the people and any of God's creatures suffering in the aftermath of various disasters, those who will be affected by winter weather, and all those dealing with the fires in California, as well as all those suffering from human cruelty and neglect.
Fr. Dan
