Novena Prayer
O Gracious Father, in every age
and at all times You bless Your
people with great gifts. Through
the prayers of Saint Jude Thadde-
us, powerful patron of the hope-
less, scatter the darkness of our
fear, crush the coronavirus and its
havoc, awaken cooperation for
the common good, safeguard all
who serve the sick and needy,
inspire charity in our words and
deeds, and train our hearts again
to trust in you.
Help our weary, broken world,
Living Lord, with faith, peace,
kindness, and compassion, with
humility, respect, joy, and cour-
age. See us through these trials,
Lord God, especially people giv-
en to depression and despair, the
unemployed, the homeless, the
hungry, and all with daily strug-
gles. May our love and respect for
Your creation bring new life,
greater mutual support, and en-
during, confident hope for all.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Cocoon Trees
We will be collecting items during
Lent again this year for the House
of Bread of Peace, a shelter for
women and children. The director
has often said that our yearly collec-
tion helps them get through the year. Trees will be placed
at the side entrances of church. As in the past, just take a
cocoon, purchase the item written on it, and bring the item
back to church. If you are not able to come to church but
would like to participate in the Cocoon Tree Project, simply
purchase an item and bring it to church or the parish cen-
ter. They are in need of household items, non-perishable
foods, toiletries - things needed in the day-to-day living. If
you prefer to send a donation instead, just label it for the
House of Bread and Peace. Thank you and God bless you!
