PRAYER FOR SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
[Composed by St. Alphonsus Liguori in the 18th century] -
We offer our prayers..

For the next 30 days, you can stream ODB Film's movie, Full of Grace, for free by clicking on the title above or the image to the right. Taking place a decade after the Resurrection, this moving drama follows Mary’s last days on earth. Peter visits her, bringing with him the struggles of the Church. As only a mother can, Mary helps Peter to recognize Jesus moving in his life and the life of the Church despite what he sees and feels. Though she is physically separated from Jesus, her reflections on life with Him remind them both that they are always united with Him in their souls. This film was made to inspire peaceful reflection and increase our love for and devotion to the Blessed Mother. Like Mary, we are always united with Jesus in our souls, and like Mary, we must wait patiently to be reunited with Him. After the 'quarantine' lifts, copies of this movie are available at the parish office in Cherokee.Read More -

March 20We are truly experiencing historic times, as we navigate through the spread of COVID-19, and the ever-developing ways we are called to respond to it. I am sure you are all feeling the same way at your place of work and at home with your families. We are all saddened by the suspension of Mass, and the cancelling of parish and diocesan activities, but we also know how important it is to keep people safe. Please know that you are in our prayers, and we will continue to pray for your health and well-being. At this point it is critical to make you aware that we do not have an end date for these changes and it is not safe to assume that it is okay to begin to reschedule cancelled events in the days (and even weeks) following the conclusion of the present 8-week suspension. From what we have been told, it is very possible that the present suspensions will in fact be extended. With that all that being said, we are making changes here at the Chancery that we want you to be aware of...Read More
