We know that this is a difficult time for you and your families. We want you to know that we are praying for you daily and for everyone who is affected by the COVID-19 virus.
As a community, St. Max is well known as a very loving and caring parish community. It is difficult for all of us to be separated from our close friends within our parish community during the imposed isolation required as a response to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Our compassion for each other draws our hearts to seek ways to aid our parish and local communities. Many elderly, ill, or disabled persons may need assistance from others to get groceries, to cook meals, to go to the doctor, or to perform other necessary activities.
We are requesting that the ministry leaders reach out to the members of their ministries and ask if any of their members need any assistance or know of other parishioners within our St. Max community that need assistance that our St. Max community could provide.
We also request that ministry leaders inquire if any of their members or others within our community, are willing to be the face of Christ to homebound persons as part of a Compassion network of parishioners who are willing to aid others in this time of uncertainty and fear.
Please contact the parish office at Kolbe@stmaxchurch.org with all requests for assistance and lists of parishioners who would like to be part of the Compassion network.
With a promise of continued prayer for all of you, we remain,
Respectfully yours,
Msgr. Paul AlbeeAlthough we are not conducting our ministry meetings and events, we are still in contact and updating our information. Please keep in touch, let us know of your needs and know that we are praying at home as a community.
There are all kinds of opportunities for everyone to engage in the life of the parish. Our many ministries get you oppurtunities to serve the Lord by serving your parish as well as those in need in your community. Please contact any of the ministry leaders to start your engagement today, or contact the parish office and we can get you started.
