“Teach us to pray.” (Luke 11:1). Those are the words of the disciples to Jesus in the Gospel of Luke right before he taught them the words of the prayer that we know as the Our Father. Prayer is an essential part of our journey of faith and I’ve heard it described, very aptly so, as our relationship with God.

This weekend is Father’s Day weekend & so I certainly want to take the opportunity to wish all of our fathers, grandfathers, & father figures a Happy & Blessed Father’s Day. We pray too, for all those fathers who have gone to their eternal reward, all those fathers who have lost children, & all those who long to be fathers but can’t.

As time goes on I look forward to working with you to continue to make our parish alive in Christ. The pandemic caused us to pause some of those events & caused us to alter some of the ways that we were alive in Christ. Now, we look forward to rebuilding our life and even bringing some new life to the corner of Rocky River & Puritas.
