Eucharistic Adoration

Since the beginning of 2010 SES has held Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament on the First Friday of each month,  in the Chapel. Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament begins at the conclusion of the 8:30 AM morning Mass, and concludes at 6:00 PM with Benediction. Everyone in SES is invited to attend but it is very helpful if parishioners commit to a specific time slot for Adoration. This is necessary because the Blessed Sacrament can never be left unattended. Parishioners willing to make this one hour commitment for each First Friday should contact the coordinators so they can be assigned to a convenient time slot.

Pills are often considered the first line of defense but with colds and flu, they will not help since antibiotics are for bacterial infections only and cold/flu germs are viral infections. Some think antibiotics help with symptoms but inappropriate use of medication only trains germs to become drug resistant. This means that when you do need the drug, it will be ineffective and you will need a more expensive, stronger drug – if one is available. Whenever you do receive a prescription, use it as directed and complete the course to be sure to kill all the bacteria in your system. Using your meds incorrectly only hurts you physically and financially.

2023 Annual Catholic Appeal

Annual Catholic Appeal“One in Christ” is the theme of the 2023 Bishop’s Appeal, and I believe this message is more important than ever as we work toward unity in our Church and in our society. In that spirit, I ask you to consider the many ways the Appeal unites the diocese in service, compassion, and faith.
