On this Memorial Day weekend, we Americans take the opportunity to remember the brave men and women who have worn the military uniforms of our nations. It is an honorable and noble gesture to remember our fallen heroes who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy in this country. We remember them all in our Masses and prayers, not only this weekend, but always. We also pray for the safety of our service men and women who are presently serving in many troubled places in the world. My godson is a West Point graduate, now serving in a dangerous area of Iraq, and I pray the he and others return safely to their parents and families unharmed.
The Parish Office will be closed this Monday in honor of Memorial Day. On Tuesday, I will join my fellow priests in congratulating Fr. John Schmoll for his 25th anniversary of ordination in Lamont, south of Bakersfield.
A reminder that our monthly Spanish Mass will be next Sunday, June 6th at 12:30pm. Please pass the word along.
