    • FORGET ME NOT
      Carlos Roldan at the Fr. English Food Pantry was grateful for the food and checks we recently delivered from OLM. He told us that the pantry is distributing 1,000 bags of food every day. We were told that normally the pantry helped 7,000 families a month, but it has swelled to 11,000. The reality of that was evident by the line of people stretching around the block waiting to receive a bag of food. As we brought the food into the pantry, it also became apparent of the low food supply on the shelves. Carlos regards OLM as one of the special parishes he relies on. Thank you and God Bless!

  • phony emails and phone calls

    UPDATE 4/17/19:

     THIS MORNING A SERIES OF FAKE TEXTS/EMAILS FROM
    'FR. STEVEN SHADWELL".  THESE ARE A SCAM - PLEASE DELETE.

    Someone with an affiliation with the parish (parishioner, staff, etc.) had their address book hacked.  The hackers are using the email addresses and, in some instances phone numbers, to impersonate Fr. Steve or  Msgr. Carroll and social engineer others in that address book.  Don’t respond to any of these solicitations.  To protect yourself, please change your email password as you could have been the  party compromised.    Please delete these emails.  No one from the Parish will be sending emails requesting favors.  Thank you!

    Father of goodness and love; hear our prayers for the sick members of our community and for all who are in need.  Amid mental and physical suffering may they find consolation in your healing presence.  Show your mercy as you close wounds, cure illness, make broken bodies whole and free deliverance, and so join us in thanking you for all your gifts.  We ask this through the lord Jesus who healed those who believed. Amen
