God Never Abandons Us
As an act of love, let us bring into prayer our families, our friends, our neighbors. Let us pray for those who are sick and suffering. Let us pray for the Clerics of St. Viateur. Let us pray for all the pilgrims who come to Our Lady’s Sanctuary. Let us pray for all those with whom over the years we have shared the celebration of Mass at our parishes and especially at Our Lady’s beautiful Sanctuary. Let us pray for one another!
Life is life
Life is beauty, admire it. Life is sheer happiness, enjoy it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, take it up. Life is a duty, do it. (…) (Mother Teresa)

Do you want to fast this lent?
Fast from hurting words and say kind words. Fast from sadness and be filled with gratitude. Fast from anger and be filled with patience. Fast from pessimism and be filled with hope. (…) (Pope Francis)
