Pastor's Reflection
Our Lady of the Rosary
Dear Friends,
Last weekend’s column highlighted Saint Francis of Assisi and the weekend before the Holy Angels. This week I want to highlight the feast of our Lady of the Rosary and Respect Life. October is the month dedicated to the praying of the rosary and Respect Life.
Saint Francis of Assisi
Dear Friends,
Monday, October 4, is the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi. He is the most popular and well-known Saint among our vast army of faith heroes. One of my favorites for sure. Even those of other faiths have a kindred attachment to him. How many gardens are graced by a statue of Saint Francis, usually holding a bird with a wolf by his side. We have one at the parish house that was given to us a few years ago.
The Angels
Dear Friends,
With this being the last Sunday in September, I was looking at the feasts of the coming week. It’s quite a line up ~ Saint Vincent DePaul, the Archangels (Michael, Gabriel, Raphael), Saint Jerome, Saint Therese of the Child Jesus, and the Guardian Angels.
