April 4th - Message from Bishop Jenky
Communion and ConfessionProbably the most difficult part of our current situation is our inability to receive the Holy Eucharist or make a Sacramental Confession. In these occasions, we should make an Act of Spiritual Communion and an Act of Perfect Contrition. These are spiritual “Acts” spiritual actions we make in cooperation of Divine Grace. In our Spiritual Communion we join our hearts to the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. In our act of Perfect Contrition we express sorrow that arises from an authentic love of God beyond all else. According to the Catechism , this act can obtain the forgiveness of mortal sins if it includes the firm resolution to make a Sacramental Confession when possible (CCC #1452).

March 28th - Message from Bishop JenkyMarch 21st - Message from Bishop JenkyMARCH 21st UPDATE: Churches must be locked during Shelter-In-PlacePursuant to the Governor’s Shelter-In-Place Order for the State of Illinois, beginning at 5PM on Saturday, March 21, and continuing through April 7:
• All churches and chapels must be closed and locked until the Governor’s order is lifted. • Instances of priests traveling to religious houses for Mass will be discontinued until the Governor’s Order is lifted. • All weddings and baptisms must be postponed and can be re-scheduled only once the Order is lifted. The only exception to this will be in the case of a true emergency. • Funerals and wakes are not permitted at this time. Only Burials with the Rite of Committal will continue to take place, as per the previous Directives, though they must be entirely outdoors. • Parish offices are to remain closed. That stated, each Pastor and his staff must identify the essential functions that need to continue. It is our expectation that parish staff work from home and will not have any extended time whatsoever in the parish office. • Decisions regarding social outreach programs will be made on a case-by-case basis. Contact the Vicar General for direction in specific cases.

Pope Francis' Prayer for
Rome and the World O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus' pain, keeping your faith firm. You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection. Amen. Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin. |

The Illinois Valley Loves Life!
Due to the icy weather, the Illinois Valley contingent of the 2020 Chicago March for Life did not make it to the event, but bus trip organizer Andy Wujek from the Mendota Knights of Columbus worked with Fr. Tom Otto to provide a beautiful impromptu prayer service and Mass last Saturday morning at St. Hyacinth Church in LaSalle for those in the area who could make it. It was so wonderful to be together for LIFE! See you next year on the bus!
