St. Catherine of Siena

Dear Parish Family,
I pray you are well and in good health. Please keep in your prayers those who are suffering because of the fires, the fire fighters and all those involved (see prayer below). It can be discouraging to think that on top of a pandemic and an election year, we have fires. I hope you are at peace or can find peace in Christ. Please spend less time on social media and the news if you are stressed out. God is at work, at least in letting darkness come to light. Do not give-in to the propaganda war and do research into facts and form your opinions on facts, as best as possible. Let us pray we have eyes to see and ears to hear Christ speaking in the concrete realities of our lives.

I am grateful the smoke is lifting, and the quality of air is improving. If the air quality continues to improve, we will have mass outside, keeping the summer schedule we have had for a while. If the smoke comes back, then we will have mass inside with people gathering in the church as well as the parish center. We will live-stream into the parish center and those present will receive communion at communion time during the mass. When the Church is full, we will ask people who arrive to gather in the parish center where are large screen will be setup.  

Prayer in Time of Fires
O God, our Creator, you are the source of all life and your goodness and glory shine forth through everything you have made. We pray to you who calmed the raging waters and commanded the winds to cease, to provide rain to quench the raging fires and to:

• sustain and protect firefighters and first responders
• comfort those who have evacuated and those who have lost property and home
• heal those who have been injured
• guide the organizational and strategic efforts of government and private leaders
• grant us all compassion and resolve to care for our neighbors and restore our common home

We ask this in the holy and powerful name of Jesus, the Lord.  Mary, Mother of Jesus, pray for us.
