Venerable Pierre Toussaint
1766-1853
Feast Day: May 28

Venerable Pierre Toussaint was born a slave in Haiti to the Berand family. They brought him to New York City in 1787 to escape the political unrest in Haiti. He became a successful hairdresser, eventually even supporting Mr. Berand’s widow, who granted his freedom in 1807. Using his wealth he became a philanthropist to the poor in NYC, starting an orphanage, employment and credit bureaus, a hostel for travelers and priests and contributed to the building of Old St. Patrick Cathedral and is interred in the new cathedral. Pierre died at 87 and is known as one of NYC's most famous Catholics.

Check this out! Our dear Father Larry Swink!

So, you may have heard that Father Larry Swink is riding the pine indefinitely while dealing with a medical issue.

As a result, in order to keep him sane, (and those around him) we offer this exciting news!

Each morning, beginning Tuesday 10/25/22, we'll release a daily reflection on the readings/Saint of the day.

We're calling it "Considerations from the Country," a nod to the rural nature of the Mother County of American Catholicism; St. Mary's County Maryland!

Perfect for those who can't attend daily Mass, need a spiritual fix at lunch, or to make the commute home more tolerable.

Join us!

Michelle Johnson, Director of Communications at EWTN, learned lessons borne from dealing with the loss of a loved one, that she’s chronicled in Walking the Way of the Cross, https://bit.ly/BookmarkBriefCaregivers. (Get it here: https://bit.ly/CrossCaregiversEWTNRC.) In the eight years of her dear husband Stu’s cancer, Michelle grappled and dealt with issues that “nobody tells you ahead of time, the real nitty-gritty that everyone in a caregiver situation needs to know.” Michelle‘s most important takeaway, however, was the importance of being with your loved one every step of the way; that God cares about everything, from “the color you choose for the bathroom you have to renovate” to the fears about a needed amputation; to the last, final hours with Stu, when they both realized how God had magnified their love for each other. Doug Keck of EWTN Bookmark highly recommends that this book be in everyone’s library. Pick up your copy of Walking the Way of the Cross for Caregivers: How to Cope Practically, Emotionally, and Spiritually When Your Loved One is Seriously Ill from https://bit.ly/CrossCaregiversEWTNRC.

Fantastic start to our 16th year with Father Larry Swink! We meet every Thursday morning. Check out our website for lots of info at:

Sr. Mary Michael Fox!

A recent article in Legatus Magazine quotes Father Dan Leary, speaking on his work with children at World Villages:
"They come out of the pain and out of the suffering. I call them ‘little Lazaruses,’ because they come out of the ‘tomb,’ and the work we must do is to untie them and set them free. That’s the work of every Catholic in the world: to untie people and set them free."

Let’s show Fr. Larry our support!

Good evening.

Calling all chalk artists. Tomorrow, Thursday April 15 we will have several buckets of colored chalk in the Parish office after 10am for parishioners/supporters/friends of Father Larry to use to leave him messages of support in the Parish office parking lot (see yellow area in pic below). The entire lot is your canvas!

Stop by before or after daily Mass or on your lunch hour or on your way home from work and show your appreciation for his devotion to the people of Sacred Heart. Bring the kids!

He returns from a much deserved vacation tomorrow evening so let's fill the parking lot of the Parish office with messages before his return.
