NOTES FROM THE PASTOR
This past week, we had our Eighth Grade Closing Mass and Graduation (May 20th) and our Second Grade First Communion (May 23rd). Congratulations to all our Eighth Graders and First Communicants! Credits to their teachers for preparing our students well and to Mrs. Rose Viau, our Director of Religious Education, for getting everything ready for these special liturgies. We are truly blessed to have been able to hold these liturgical celebrations in our newly restored Cathedral, despite the limitations imposed on us by the state as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Sacred Emblem Against the PlagueThe use of sacred images is not superstition, but based on our Catholic faith. Although devotion to the Most Holy Name of Jesus is as old as the Church, it was popularized by the Franciscans of the 15th century, especially St. Bernardine of Siena. Please click here to download and print.
This sacred emblem is placed on the doors of houses for protection against the plague. It is an ancient indulgenced practice linked to The Most Holy Name of Jesus. The main devotions are illustrated in this figure: to the Most Holy Trinity, to Mary Most Holy, to St. Joseph, to the Sacred Heart and to the Immaculate Heart, to the Holy Rosary and to the Chair of St. Peter. -

We would like to keep the office building and the Ave Maria Hall a "green zone" to make it safe for all staff members, especially those over 60 years old.
