The Divine Mercy Chaplet:
In reparation for the Catholic Church in light of recent reports of misconduct.
In prayerful response to the recent reports of misconduct by members of the clergy in the Church in the United States, we will be praying the Divine Mercy chaplet 10 minutes before our weekend Masses for the weeks to come. The chaplet was given to St. Faustina Kowalska in Poland in the 1930's through revelations of Jesus. The chaplet is prayed using a rosary and is easy to learn. Prayer aids will be in the missalettes. In the devotion, we pray for God's mercy for ourselves and the needs within the Church as well. Please do join us as we pray.

From our Pastor:
Just a quick update on my thesis as I have a number of people who have asked about it just recently. I have gotten an extension to have it completed by October 15. With the recent funerals and helping Fr. Sudhakar to settle in, I've been going in too many different directions. I have my last chapter to complete as well as the hoops of formatting the paper to the University standards, but continue to make progress and appreciate all of the prayers.
When tragedy strikes in our lives and in our community, where do we turn? Do we turn to the Lord or do we turn to things that won't help us to truly heal? There are never sufficient answers for things that happen in our lives, in our community, in our country and in our world. But a fruit of the Holy Spirit is peace. True peace isn't as the world describes it: a simple absence of conflict or difficulty. True peace is the sense of calm and serenity that comes in spite of all the difficulties of life and the unanswered questions. Peace comes when we spend time with the Lord in the quiet stillness of our hearts. That can be difficult in the noise of our world, especially our own homes.
Our St. John Vianney perpetual adoration chapel is an island of quiet in the noisy seas of our world. (It's in the left half of the small building just behind the church.) There is someone scheduled 24 hours a day 7 days a week so that it is available to visit any time. (Between 9 pm and 6 am the outer door is locked for the safety of those who come to visit, but contact the office if you'd like to visit during those hours.) If you have never visited before, I invite you to come and sit a spell. You don't have to register to stop by. You don't have to have signed up for a specific time. You don't have to stay for any predetermined amount of time. You just have to come and be in Jesus' presence in the Eucharist in the monstrance. The consecrated host from Mass is the real Body and Blood of Jesus that is present there in the chapel. He is truly present there waiting for each one of us. If you are afraid that you might distract others if you are a little emotional, don't be...afraid that is. If you are sniffling or crying while you are in there, the other people there will likely change their prayer to pray for you whatever you are dealing with. There are books for prayer and reading that cover a multitude of areas for God to use to speak to you. You can pray a rosary, a divine mercy chaplet, look over the daily readings, come with a list of people to pray for, or just come and sit with Jesus to adore him and have a conversation with Him. At it's essence, this is what prayer is, talking with God.
You don't have to come to the chapel to encounter Jesus in prayer, but it may be a little bit easier than trying to do so in the noise of the world. Come with your prayers, your decisions to be made, your uncertainties, your questions, your quandaries. Come to Jesus who wants to be present to you and give you a peace beyond just the simple lack of difficulties in your life. Come experience the true peace that Jesus desires for you.
