Dear Friends,
One deacon sent me material which included this Scripture verses – “Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?” (Mark 4:40) We all need to keep this in mind.
BOB RUST – I was so sorry to hear that Bob Rust, the 88-year old brotherp of our parishioner Renee Yarmuth, passed away Saturday morning. He lived in Greensburg, Indiana. The doctors think he died of coronavirus but are awaiting lab results to be sure. Renee and Mike, we are so sorry for your loss! Even though we can’t come to the funeral, the parish will have you and your family in our prayers.
OUR PARISH MASS ONLINE – I was so delighted this weekend to discover that St. John Paul II parish had recorded Mass for this weekend. I found it by accident this morning, through our parish’s Facebook page, which provided a link to the Mass on YouTube. It was so good to see the inside of our own church, Fr. Peter leading Mass, Deacon Bruce Warren assisting, his wife Laurie and daughter Katelyn doing the readings, and son John in the audience! Thanks to all of you for bringing our home parish Mass to us this weekend!
