Please Pray

I would like you to keep our parish pastor, Fr. Joe, in your prayers. He had a bad cough last week, and eventually ended up in ICU. He has double-pneumonia, and is improving, but still very ill. In a church with close to 1,500 families, and only one priest, the man is seriously overworked. We do have two deacons, but still...Fr. Joe certainly has a workload beyond your imagination.

Thank you in advance for keeping him in your prayers.

Am finishing my rosary and will now be praying for Fr. Joe...we need to pray for more priests too so that our poor priests won't be all alone and so over worked!

blessings,

I will remember him in prayer. Having just gotten over pneumonia myself, I know tht it leaves you weak and takes a while to get back on your feet.

Thank you for your prayers. He is improving, but very slowly. Recuperation is going to take awhile.
