We are pleased to announce that Pflaum Publishing Group is sharing their Children’s Bulletin for free.
This downloadable guide may be used by parents when celebrating Mass at home with their children.
Holy Heroes is also sharing their Sunday Mass Prep activities for children including coloring pages, quizzes, and Mass Readings for each week.
During this very unusual time in our history, the Boy Scouts of Troop 23 have found themselves in the same situation that all of you are facing. We are unable to go to school, meet in fellowship, and enjoy our usual activities outdoors. With the extra time that we have, we wanted to reach out and share our thoughts, our day to day activities, and what we are doing as a Troop. We know that what we have to offer may not be much, but we wanted to share a little bit of normalcy in the surreal world that in which we are now involved. Click to read all our Letters of Support .

This act was composed by Saint Alphonsus de Liguori.
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
Where can I read more about this?
Scammers are taking advantage of the concerns over COVID-19 virus, and are again posing as priests and other clergy. As recently as today, you might receive an email or a text message that appears to be from your Pastor or another priest that you may know. The scammer asks you to help someone in need by purchasing a gift card and to provide the codes on that card. DO NOT RESPOND!
Here’s how to protect yourself from being scammed:
1. Know that scammers are out there. Be suspicious of any request for funds of any type via an email message or a text message. Verify any request with a call to the person who supposedly sent it or a call to the phone number of the text that you received.
2. Know that any email from a priest should be from a diocesan or parish email account. Messages sent from free services, such as Gmail or Yahoo, are more likely to be scammers.
3. Many clergy do not share their cell phone numbers publicly. If you receive a text message from someone not on your phone’s contact list, be suspicious.
4. Know that priests will NEVER ask for financial transactions via email or text messages.
