Hello,

Hope your week has been going well. Not a lot of news to report. I want to thank Rosana who helped Our Lady of Mercy and San Dámaso procure a 600 kilo donation of food for the struggling families of both parishes! She even helped deliever it! Amazing!

I will preside and preach at our Mass and also right after at the 12:30 Spanish Mass. So I will not be all that available in the office after Mass. However, Fr. Sebastian will be around for confessions.

Parishioner Martín Ramirez offered a youtube link for those who might be interested in a virtual celebration of the Anointing of the Sick. Maybe this will bring comfort to someone in need. Click on this link:

The weather should be pleasant, so we can easily open the windows to help make a safe environment. 

Please remember you get also get more information from our website: ourladyofmercy.info

I will end with a prayer that God blesses you and your intentions, and also with two jojes (they are both kind of weak).

Fr. Ron
