As we move into these uncertain winter months, I want you to know that we at St. John the Baptist, St. Anthony, St. Mary, All Saints and St. Isidore are here for you. We miss you. We invite you to come back to Mass if you have been away, even if it is one of our weekday Masses with fewer people present. If you are unsure about attending Sunday Masses during this time of pandemic, simply call the rectory and I, Fr. Richard or a minister in the church will meet you at the church to offer Holy Communion. We are also available to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation or Anointing of the Sick. For Catholics, the Sacraments are instituted by Christ to give us grace. Pope Francis reminds us that Communion is not a reward for good behavior but medicine for the sick. We all need Christ's help during these difficult times. Take time out each day for your own prayer. Pray as a family before meals. Watch Mass online if you don't feel safe cominig to Mass, and join in the online offerings that our parish and diocese offer. I am here for you and pray daily for you. This is my duty and blessing for me as a parish priest. God Bless. ~ Fr. Dan
