For all service men and women; first responders; police; firefighters; health care workers; and everyone who is keeping us safe, protected, and fed during the COVID 19 crisis.

For the intentions of the parishioners of St. Luke, St. Genevieve, St. John of the Cross, St. Peter and Paul, and Sacred Heart parishes.
For all those sick and suffering from the Coronavirus, may they recover quickly and completely.
Please Pray for Our Priests
Rev. Charles J. Caluda; Rev. Anthony Odiong; Rev. Kenneth Allen; Very Rev. Charles J. Benoit, O.S.B., V.F.; Rev. Timothy Burnett, O.S.B.
Here is a brief prayer that you may want to use:
Eternal Father, we lift up to you these and all the priests of the world. Sanctify them. Heal and guide them. Mold them into the likeness and holiness of your Son, Jesus, the Eternal High Priest. May their lives be pleasing tp you. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen
CONSECRATION TO ST. JOSEPH
In honor of the year of St. Joseph, you may consider consecrating yourself to our Spiritual Father. You will need to purchase Fr. Calloway’s book “Consecration to St. Joseph: The Wonders of Our Spiritual Father" by Fr. Donald Calloway. Drawing upon the long tradition of devotion to St. Joseph, Fr. Calloway invites us to consecrate ourselves to the heroically pure and just St. Joseph. The consecration begins on February 15th and ends on the Solemnity of St. Joseph, March 19th. Our Come Lord Jesus prayer group will meet each week on Wednesday mornings at 9:30am beginning on February 17th to reflect on what has been read and prayed. However, the consecration can be done without attending this group. If you have any questions, you can contact Fr. Dan at ddarmanin@saintmm.org.
SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS
We were presented with a beautiful plaque which is being held in the photo by Annie Schneidau, Student Council President, and Shelby Fischer, NJHS President.
