Hello again,

Well, not too much has changed this week. The church neighborhood is still restricted but it seems as though things are getting slightly better. We keep praying and begging God!

So, next Sunday the Mass will be live streamed. You can see it at 11:00 AM or later on Youtube. Again, thank you to all the volunteers that are doing double duty to make sure you have access to OLM. We won’t be sending an usher to your house for the collection, but you can support OLM following the instructions on the OLM web’s home page.

By the way, many people read the google reviews, even for churches, so if you have the time, could you write a nice review for your church? This was proposed by the parish council yesterday at our Zoom meeting. Go to this link and click on “Google reviews” then choose the option “Write a review”:

Fr. Ron will preside and preach this Sunday.

I also received and interesting email of a foundation that offers free online classes for those interested in learning Spanish.They also include a certification. It is especially offered to immigrants here in Spain. So, if you are interested, email me and I will send you the necessary information.

I pray God keeps you and your family safe, this second wave is formidable!

Fr. Ron

Finding a Husband

At a local coffee bar, a young woman was expounding on her idea of the perfect mate to some of her friends. “The man I marry must be a shining light amongst company. He must be musical. Tell jokes. Sing. And stay home at night!”

An old granny overheard and spoke up, “Honey, if that’s all you want, get a TV!”
