SPIRITUAL COMMUNION

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the 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.

################################################################# Monetary Donations Needed for School Supplies for Sister Parish in Tennessee: Regretfully, it will not be possible this year to conduct the annual school supply drive for needy children from our sister parish in TN. Because of the pandemic, the risks of bringing the supplies into the churches and transporting them to TN are too great. But the need in Rutledge, TN is greater than ever, due to the effects of Covid-19, so please consider making a monetary donation to help this cause. Our parish will be sending a check to our sister parish so that they can purchase school supplies for the students that otherwise would start school without the tools they need for success. If you can help, please drop off your donation at the parish office or drop it in the collection basket in an envelope clearly marked "School Supply Drive for TN." May God bless you for your generosity! ===============================================================================

PARISH GARAGE SALE: I appreciated it in past years that many parishioners planned ahead with donations for the annual garage sale for Haiti at St. Lawrence, but I’m sorry to say that I have decided it’s best to not have the garage sale this year. Deacon Tim

Letter from Sister Parish in Haiti: Thank you, St. John Paul II parishioners for the support that you sent to us so far this year. Thanks to that, we have honored some pastoral obligations: celebration of the Our Lady of Lourdes feast, maintaining our Parish car and our rectory, support to some parents,… Overall, we have been amazed by the Coronavirus disease and the dryness in our region for the last four months. People are at hurting: no crops, no work and we live under a “stay at home time” because the COVID-19. Some have survived thanks to your help. So many requests for food, sick people or other necessities… Now, life is almost impossible. May God continue to protect you from the COVID-19! Fr. Joseph If you would like to support them send a check to our parish office with “Haiti” in the memo.

Consecration to Mary starts July 25th

Every one of us needs to consecrate ourselves to the Immaculate Heart of Mary - right now! We need to act now because we need her protection in this crazy world, and because too many of our family members have strayed from the Faith. Mary will guide them back to Jesus if we entrust ourselves to her. Also, we need Mary to help us keep our churches open and sacraments available. That’s why we’re starting this Mary’s Mantle Consecration which ends on her birthday, September 8th. The consecration basically consists of reading or listening to a brief description of a unique virtue as well as praying the Rosary every day. There are several ways to participate: + purchase the Mary’s Mantle Consecration book by Christine Watkins at Amazon, or + receive the virtue description daily to your email by sending your email address to Deacon Dave at dprenger@westianet.net, or listen daily to the virtue recitation on 103.1 Catholic Radio after the 8:30 pm Rosary, or + read the daily virtue at the Queen of Peace Media website, select the Mary’s Mantle icon, then the Meditation for Days 1-46 icon
