LET US GIVE THANKS IN PRAYER
Let us pray in thanksgiving for
Bishop Frederick Henry
who led us for many years through
trying times
when the spirit of the world
threatened Christian values.
May the presence of the Holy Spirit
be his source of strength, and
may he continue to be an inspiring
example of defending these values.
May the Lord, our God, protect him
and may he experience peace
and happiness in his retirement.
AMEN
Sixth Sunday
in Ordinary Time
February 12th, 2017
Throughout human history, one of the norms that guided people was that their word was their bond. Although more people today feel free to not honor a commitment when it no longer suits them, we are called to live differently. For Jesus teaches clearly that our “yes” is to mean yes and our “no” is to mean no.
INSTALLATION OF BISHOP WILLIAM T. MCGRATTAN on Monday, February 27th in St. Mary’s Cathedral at 7:30pm. Due to fire code regulations, admittance is by ticket only.
