Dear Parishioners,
On this Friday, Veteran’s Day, November 11th, we pause to remember all those who served our country in wars long ago and today. Of course, we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives for our freedom. Many still have the wounds of their service, physically and/or psychologically. Now, more than ever, we are aware of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which lasts for many years even with support from family and professionals.
As we gather as one family, we pray that Jesus blesses us with His healing presence; and, for those who suffer from their time in service to our country, we pray for the grace to regain a degree of continuity...
