Special Blessings upon you, one and all!

man Life with the 40 Days for Life! We unite with everyone
to pray and give public witness at 300 West Main Street,
Manchester, beside the Whitewater Parking lot, 7AM–6PM
Blessed Trinity Cluster has committed to Thursdays, 11AM to
pray the Most Holy Rosary for Life there, followed by
12:30PM Mass at St. Mary’s with this special Pro-Life inten-
tion.

Fr. Gabriel

someone else who is ready to lead. Can you help?

Parking Lot Project The existing parking lot was constructed in the late 1970’s. It
is in need of repair to fix the cracks and uneven sections. It
was decided by the Parish Council & Finance Committee that
the best option was to go over top of the cement with asphalt
over lay. The parking in front of the church and the parking lot
are going to be resurfaced sometime in September. The esti-
mate to complete the project is $40,000. Anyone interested
in making a donation to the project can do so by putting in
the collection basket with envelope marked for the parking lot
project.

Christ Healing the Blind, ca. 1570
This image by the famed artist, El Greco (Domenikos Theoto-
kopoulos), illustrates the Gospel account of Christ healing a
blind man by anointing his eyes.
The past year has highlighted the urgent need for healing--
physical, spiritual, emotional--in ourselves and in our world.
As our world struggles to heal, complete healing is not possi-
ble without Jesus as the Divine Physician. When our souls
heal, all heals, despite our suffering.
The words we pray at Mass, “Say the Word and My Soul
Shall be Healed”, have the power to remind us of, to open
our eyes to, the healing that Jesus offers us in the Eucharist
which is essential, eternal and ever open to us. We humbly
ask him to say the word, and with that prayer we have faith
that with the fantastic and improbable prospect of Jesus
entering under our roof, our souls shall be healed.
