Habemus Papam - We Have a Pope!

Habemus Papam! We have a Pope!

The Cardinals gathered in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel have elected Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost as the 267th Pope, who took the name Pope Leo XIV.

Christ is Risen, Alleluia! Truly, He is Risen, Alleluia!

Our Lenten journey together starts today on the way toward Easter Sunday! What are you going to do to grow closer to God during the next forty days?

It's tempting at the start of Lent to pick a bunch of things we want to change about ourselves. When we spread our focus too thin, though, it often results in us not accomplishing anything in the end.

The Church asks us to focus on prayer, fasting and almsgiving or charity. As we do that, ask yourself what is the one most positive change I could make to draw closer to God? Because ultimately, God wants the best possible relationship with us and that's what we should want as well.

Thank you for your prayers for the repose of the soul of Msgr. John F. Meyers. The funeral arrangements are as follows:
