Reflection - Week of April 26
Question of the Week:
From the Diocesan Director for Vocations, Fr. Alfred Guerrero:
“I encourage you in a special way during this time to foster a culture of vocation within your communities. Pray intentionally for vocations at Mass, invite conversations with young people about discerning God’s will, and be attentive to those who may be quietly considering a call to priesthood or religious life. A simple word of encouragement or a personal invitation can be the seed through which God brings forth abundant fruit.
Let us also remember that vocations are born from prayer. May our parishes become places where silence, discernment, and trust in God’s plan are nurtured. United in prayer, we entrust this intention to the Lord of the harvest, confident that He continues to call laborers into His vineyard.”
From your Pastor, Fr. Ed:
April 25, the Feast of St. Mark, is always a special day for me as a priest. It was thirty four (34) years ago when I was ordained to the priesthood, 25 April 1992. I thank God for His gift of the priesthood on me and I thank you all, my dear parishioners, because I have been blessed to serve in our parish, Our Lady of Perpetual Help, since July of 2012 until now and beyond. I ask you to pray for me as I do pray for you!

Resumption of Sunday Mass Obligation
"Effective Easter Sunday, April 4 (or as of the Easter Vigil, April 3), I am ending the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass, which has been in effect since mid-March 2020. However, anyone who is sick, may have been exposed to anyone with COVID-19, or who has a health condition that would endanger themselves or others by being present in church, continues to be dispensed."
