Staying connected with St. John's
How can we stay connected as a parish family during this difficult time?
Stay Connected ~
Father Madden would like to encourage you to stay connected with St. John's during this challenging time for our community. Now that Masses have officially been cancelled, it is more important than ever that our parish family come together to support one another. Our Flocknote messaging system will provide helpful ways for us to stay in contact...
Fr. Madden's weekly email ~
In light of the need for contact and connection, Fr. Madden will be sending out a weekly email via Flocknote to this group. His email will include a short message and a reflection on the Sunday readings. Keep an eye out for Father's Sunday morning emails and other helpful messages from the parish.
Share Your Thoughts, Concerns & Prayer Requests ~
The Flocknote messages will allow you to to share comments that can be viewed by all parishioners who received the message. We encourage you to use the commenting feature to share your thoughts, concerns, and prayers - so our community as a whole can provide support and prayers as needed. Simply click the "REPLY" button at the bottom of any email to share a comment.
From Bishop McManus:
Prayer in Time of Pandemic
O God, whose Only Begotten Son bore
the weight of human suffering for our salvation,
hear the prayers of your Church for our sick brothers and sisters
and deliver us from this time of trial.
the weight of human suffering for our salvation,
hear the prayers of your Church for our sick brothers and sisters
and deliver us from this time of trial.
Open our ears and our hearts to the voice of your Son:
"Be not afraid, for I am with you always"
Bless all doctors and nurses, researchers and public servants;
give us the wisdom to do what is right and the faith to endure this hour,
that we might gather once again to praise your name in the heart of your Church,
delivered from all distress and confident in your mercy.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
