From Our Director of Faith Formation:
My dear families,
I pray that you are all well. I understand that these are stressful times full of anxieties and
worries. Please remember that God is always with you, open your hearts to our Lord and
receive the message of love, hope, compassion and mercy that the Lord is offering through His
grace to those who seek Him. So, therefore:
Do not fear; I am with you;
Do not be anxious; I am your God.
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.Isaiah 41:10
Please know that I miss all of you and am praying for all of you. You are the domestic Church
and what a better time to pray as a family. In your children’s bilingual book “Mi Fe Catolica”
there are prayers you can pray as a family. I encourage you to set up a prayer space in your
home where you and your family can pray an Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be.
Your servant in Christ,
Bertha Keenan, Director
Family Faith Formation
Note: I have sent you letters with instructions so that I can email you. Please follow

Dear Families,
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us about the importance of praying together.
We can pray with our family, our friends, and our church. Whenever two or more of
us are together our prayers become stronger!
As a family, watch video in its entirety and then ask each other this question.
Why can’t you always see the answer to prayers right away?
Family Prayer: Dear Jesus, help us to remember that we can help each other
when we pray together. Amen

My dear families,
I pray this email finds you all well and that you are praying as a family. Trusting God is watching over all of you.
In this Sunday’s gospel Jesus tells us that he will not leave us orphans. Even in the midst of our struggles we can rest assured that Jesus is with us to comfort and strengthen us. Know that Jesus loves you and hugs you. As a family ask each other these questions. How are you feeling Jesus loving hugs? How are you hugging Jesus? How do you know Jesus loves you? Do you love Jesus?
John 14:15-21

My dear families,
I pray this email finds you all well and praying as a family.
When the 11 disciples went to the mountain, Jesus said to them “Go and make disciples of all nations”. The Ascension of the Lord, Thursday May 21st is often called the “Great Commission”.
We are called to be disciples and observe all that Jesus has taught and commanded us to do. Through our actions we lead people to Christ.
Witnesses to this “Great Commission” are our Pastor Father Stan, Father Victor, Father Charlince, lectors, cantors, musicians, and altar servers, seen when mass is livestreamed into our homes. Deacon Andres setting the technology and managing the videos and Deacon John with his daily reflections.
Our priests are not just taking care of our spiritual needs but also our physical needs by distributing food to our parishioners in need. Marge who is always there for all of us. All who donate to Parish Outreach and all volunteers who pack the food donated and keep our Church clean and looking beautiful. Our families who through their trials are demonstrating the virtues of love, patience, kindness, humility.

My dear families,
I pray this email finds you all well and praying as a family.
In this week’s video in the Gospel of John, Jesus prays to the Father for His Disciples. We are His Disciples. What a blessing to know that Jesus prays for us. Jesus is working for, in, and through us.
Thank the Lord for all his works and words. Ask the Lord to show you how to be in the world, but not of the world. Remember to always love one another as He loves you.
As a family, ask each other how are we Jesus’ Disciples? How can you witness to each other that you are a disciple of Christ?
May the peace of the Lord be always with you.
