The Lord says, “For I know the plans I have for you...plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will lis- ten to you” (Jer 29:11-12). After many months of meeting and planning we finally enter July which has been desig- nated as the month of our Capital Campaign Kick Off.

Living God’s plan in the midst of great difficulty helps us to find happiness. But often times it requires an act of the will within us. In that sense, happiness is within us. Let us use this opportunity to take willful, concrete steps to find happiness. Let us carry our cross as good disciples of Jesus and do not dismay. Let us consciously pray for a deeper trust in God. Even with COVID-19, we can find happiness and peace now and into our unknown future.

A child will follow the example of his father quicker than following his advice. We look up to our dads for providing for us, for protection, for help, for character and for a living example of the virtues of temperance, charity, courage and integrity. Jesus reminded us that in addition to our biological fathers, we also have a Father in heaven. He is the one that created us and showed us his unconditional love by sending us his only begotten Son to save us and to show us the way back to him.

Today, with joy, I look back and thank all those people that were part of my priestly formation. I thank my rectors, my formation directors, my spiritual directors, my confessors, my teachers, my sponsors, my family, my friends, and all those that courageously helped me to become the priest who now serves at Our Lady of the Assumption.

On your XIV Anniversary of Priestly Ordination. Thank you! For answering Jesus' call to His priesthood. We are blessed by your "YES!"

It is our hope that our right to responsibly and safely gather for worship will soon be honored... We eagerly await the Governor's response to our suggestions on this so we can proceed together with our re-opening plans.

"This is the right time, the opportune moment. An act of contrition done well, and our souls will become white like the snow." --Pope Francis, 3/20/2020

Today, to my mom and all mothers, I wish you a happy and blessed Mothe's Day!

May is the traditional month in which we honor the Blessed Virgin Mary. May is also the month in which we celebrate Mother’s Day. By celebrating Mary during the month of May we are expressing our honor for her as the mother of Jesus and we celebrate the fact that she is also the spiritual mother to each one of us.

On Tuesday (4/28) and Wednesday (4/29) between 10 am and 1 pm.
Please drive by the Church in Leavenworth at 145 Wheeler Street, to sign the R-90 petition to reject recent Wash. Sex Ed Law. We will be in the parking lot and keeping safe social distancing. You can just drive up to a table, sign the petition, and be on your way in a minute. Hand sanitizer will be available. (Ideally, bring your own pen.)

It is faith in God, a solid faith based on him, who is an eternal rock.” This is a phrase spoken by Pope Saint John Paul II and one that is very helpful in a time of confusion. God is our rock and our foundation. The point which the Holy Father was making is that when we trust in Him, we can overcome every single type of suffering and illness.

On this Second Sunday of Easter we celebrate the Divine Mercy of Jesus by repeating the petition of Saint Faustina, “For the sake of his sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.” Today we storm heaven with our prayers that God would fill our world with His mercy – a mercy that has the power to crush evil and restore a sense of healing and peace.

Easter joy in a time of ongoing slavery to COVID 19 is a contradiction. Risen Lord Jesus, please crush this evil and truly set us free! A blessed Easter to all.
