Pope Francis' Prayer to the Virgin Mary for Protection from Coronavirus
O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick.
At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus’ pain, with steadfast faith. You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need.
We are certain that you will provide, so that, as you did at Cana of Galilee, joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the Father’s will and to do what Jesus tells us:
He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us, through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen.
We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God.
Do not despise our pleas – we who are put to the test – and deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.
Amen.

Prayer for Peace in Anxiety
"Loving God, today we come to you full of anxiety and stress about what has happened and what may happen. Shower us with the peace Jesus promised to his disciples, and make us steady pillars for those around us. In this time of uncertainty and pandemic, wake us up to the reminder that we are never alone. Strengthen our resolve to lean on your word and be guided by your enduring love and Spirit..."

Nov 10, 2021: Transition to Hymnals at Mass
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,I hope that this finds you well and living in the peace of Christ.
It is with great joy that we will soon be entering into the Advent season starting November 28, 2021. To accompany this change in liturgical season, we will be transitioning from worship aids to Breaking Bread hymnals for Mass. Beginning November 28th, worship aids will no longer be provided and the Breaking Bread hymnals will be introduced. For Masses livestreamed on Sundays, lyrics to songs will continue to be included as they have been.
As a parish, we are seeking to discover, follow, worship, and share Jesus ever more fully and to help all of us encounter Jesus in the Eucharist. We have discerned that making this transition to the Breaking Bread hymnals will help us accomplish this mission in a more fruitful and effective way.
If you would like a physical copy of the Breaking Bread hymnal (which also includes Sunday Mass readings), please let us know and we can mail you a copy. Call the parish office at (920) 231-9782 or email Maria Grygleski at mbsmgrygleski@gmail.com.
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility. I look forward to the day when we will all be able to pray the Mass together in person again. Be encouraged as you continue to fight the good fight and choose the Lord one day at a time. Please know that I am praying for you
Peace,
Fr. Jerry Pastors -
