Fr. Mike Cronin

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to pray with couples who have experienced a challenging pregnancy or one that has resulted in a miscarriage, stillborn, or death soon after delivery in the first several days. I am amazed how often this happens. In many situations, the parents want to memorialize these young lives in some way. To that end, I have placed a plaque on the wall in church nearest to the statues of Mary and Joseph with the baby Jesus. If you or someone you know would like to memorialize a little one in this way, please call the parish office and let us know the inscription you would like and we’ll take care of the rest. There is no charge for this service but free will offerings are always welcome.
 
Last weekend, I spoke briefly at each of the Masses about the resolution to the diocesan bankruptcy case. As Bishop Quinn said in his statement, this resolution will hopefully bring an end to this chapter in our church’s life but the work of healing and restorative justice will continue in earnest. To all those who have been hurt, their families and friends, and to all...I’m sorry.
