We entrust to the care of Christ the Divine Physician, those members of our Parish Family in need of Healing in Body, Mind, or Spirit especially The Entire World, Margaret , Gerard, Marlene, Derek, Ronald, Renee, Bernie, Alvin, Leona, Kara, Dick, and Rose. May they embrace their trials in union with the Crucified Christ for the salvation of souls, and the remission of sins.

What About Palms - CHANGE/ADDENDUM: BY LATEST ORDER OF THE BISHOP:   BLESSED PALM MAY NOT BE DISTRIBUTED TO THE FAITHFUL, due to the possibility of transmission of the coronavirus as a result of multiple people touching these sacramentals. +++ Father will bless them at his private Mass and lay them out to dry.  ++++ The Palm will be made available to you, the Faithful, only when this crisis has abated.  (Please click on the above title to read the original message as shown in the March 29, 2020 bulletin & the change/addendum.)

A little known 16 year old Saint of the 2nd century is currently being hailed as a source of hope and protection in this time of Pandemic. Her name is (no joke here) St. Corona and it appears that she has been waiting 1,860 years to help the world in this present crisis. [Please click on the above title link to read more.]

Many have asked about their Envelopes & ongoing contributions. You may mail them, drop them into the container near the vigil candles in front of St. Joseph’s Altar, place them in the mail box of the Parish Center, donate online at https://queenofpeacepatton.org or just continue to fill them & keep them until when we are finally allowed to worship again as a Parish Family. --- It goes without saying, the Church is still being heated & that costs money! We will lose the $20,000 profit from the Fish “Fry-days” & the $5,000 from the Easter Bake Sale. Then there’s the Parish Breakfast(s), Chicken Dinners, & the list goes on and on... So, please don’t forget the temporal needs of the Parish.

† My dearly beloved in Christ, +++ Peace to you in these chaotic times... Dozens of emails, cards and phone calls are flooding the Parish Office expressing your kind thoughts. Many of you are saying this or something in the same vain, “You must be going out of your mind, not saying Mass”.... ++++ Though you, the Faithful are not present, be mindful that I am going to my “make-shift” Altar daily and offering the Sacred Sacrifice for all my flock and for the remission of the sins of the whole world.
