Lord Jesus, as you once called the first disciples to make them fishers of men, let your sweet invitation continue to resound: Come Follow Me! We thank you for the gift of the seminarians called to serve in the Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon. Inspire them to imitate You, the Eternal High Priest, in sacrificial service to Your Church. Grant perseverance to our seminarians. Give them the graces they need to one day serve You faithfully as priests. May Your light shine through them to everyone they meet. Mary, Mother of the Church, the model of every vocation, help our seminarians to continue to say “yes” to the Lord who calls us to cooperate in the divine plan of salvation.
Amen

There are text messages and emails going out to parishioners that are asking for a favor supposedly from Fr Francesco. These are a scam. The scammers are asking for Apple Gift cards or other gift cards for various needs. The phone number and emails that these are coming from are not at all associated with Fr. Francesco.Please just ignore these as both Fr. Francesco and Fr. Niall will not ask for something like this in this manner.Again, these are a scam. Deacon Larry |
