Dear St. Maximilian Kolbe Parish Family:
I am writing to let you know that during this difficult time I am keeping all of you in my special prayers. Each morning I offer a private Mass for your intentions and for the intentions of everyone effected by the COVID-19 virus.
During this time, it is important that we do not lose our faith life. Without the weekly celebration of the Eucharist, it is important that we continue our prayer. Our parish website has valuable resources that can help us with that. The website address is www.stmaxchurch.org
The website lists the daily readings for Mass that you can dust off your Bible, find, and prayerfully reflect on them. It also lists links to daily Masses offered online – especially from our regional Bishop Robert Barron and our Archbishop José Gomez.
Please take to heart the recommendations of our government officials about only leaving home for necessary reasons. Together in faith, we will be able to get beyond this crisis. Remember the words of our God: “The Lord of hosts is with us; our stronghold his the God of Jacob.” (Ps. 46:8).
With every best wish and an assurance of my special prayers for you, I remain
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Monsignor Paul Albee
