Dear Friends,
Even while our parish office is closed, the staff has been busy reaching out to our community. Thank you for everyone who has shared updated contact information.  Because of this activity we were able to identify parishioners who might not have access to technology.  Between the parish staff and students in Amy Hall’s Missionary Discipleship class, we made phone calls to many parishioners. We were able to confirm that they were okay and that they had support during these times and offer the support of our community.  Most of them are living in a senior residence, had family nearby, or had neighbors checking in on them.  They were so thankful for the phone call.
We were able to let them know how our community was staying connected.  We are livestreaming Mass via Facebook on Sundays. We are praying the Angelus and the Rosary at 12:00noon. Between 8:00pm and 9:00pm we are lighting a candle, placing it in our window, and praying for our community. They were thankful to have this information.  They were happy to have a way to join in prayer.
EllenAnn is mailing bulletins to these parishioners.  We will call them when we are able to gather as community once again.
During this process I was overwhelmed by the resilience and the fortitude of this sector of our population.  A good majority of them were born in the 1930’s and late 1920’s.  They have witnessed our world, our country and our Church through many challenging and difficult times.  When I asked them if they needed anything, I was awed and inspired by their response.  Most said, “I am truly blessed”.  Many listed their children as their main source of joy and comfort.  Many had great things to say about the community at Christ the King.  Not one of them had a complaint. 
I came away from these conversations with a sense of hope.  A sense that our community is strong.  Even though we cannot gather in public, our faith will survive any distancing.  I look forward to the day when we can nourish our faith once again through the sacraments. I look forward to the day when we can be together.  In the meantime, we will continue to be in community through the power of prayer.
