Dear Parish Family,
Last Sunday we celebrated our parish feast day. We began at 5PM with a beautiful liturgy which I was honored to celebrate. Our choir led by our music minister Frank Matto, gave glorious praise to our Lord and Blessed Mother.
After Mass our parishioners and guests enjoyed a delicious BBQ prepared for us by JR’s deli of Westport,
Thank you to Michelle Hankey and Nancy Curcio who planned the event and to all those who helped set up and clean up.
God blessed us with the most perfect summer evening and a good time was had by everyone who attended.
“In dangers, in doubts, in difficulties, think of Mary, call upon Mary. Let not her name depart from your lips, never suffer it to leave your heart. And that you may obtain the assistance of her prayer, neglect not to walk in her footsteps. With her for guide, you shall never go astray; while invoking her, you shall never lose heart; so long as she is in your mind, you are safe from deception; while she holds your hand, you cannot fall; under her protection you have nothing to fear; if she walks before you, you shall not grow weary; if she shows you favor, you shall reach the goal.” St. Bernard of Clairvaux
God Bless,
Fr. Cyrus

Dear Parish Families,
Pray for Those in Building Collapse in Miami
We pray for the dead, those still unaccounted for, the grieving, the injured and their family and friends who are waiting anxiously for news of them. We pray for those who are working around the clock to search for survivors, to recover the dead, and to account for the missing.
We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield
God Bless America
On this Independence Day let us remember all those who have sacrificed for our freedom, following the example of your Son, Jesus Christ. Let us not take freedom, both physical and spiritual, for granted. May we always remember that our freedom was purchases with a very high price which cost others their very lives.
Help us to live in a way that glorifies you, Lord. Give us the strength to be a blessing in someone else’s life today, and grant us the opportunity to lead others into the freedom that can be found in knowing Christ.
God Bless,
Fr. Cyrus

Dear Parish Families,
Does God take a vacation in the summer?
Blessings as we begin Summer. As we travel about on our vacations we need to remember to go to Mass. if we find ourselves on Sunday morning in a town with which we’re unfamiliar, we should do our best to locate a Catholic church and to attend Mass.
Mass is a gift we offer to God, a prayer of thangiving that avails us to gain strength, courage, hope, and wisdom from receiving Jesus in the Eucharist.
