act of spiritual communion
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.Amen.

Palm Sunday and the sacred triduum
Palm Sunday Mass with Pope Francis
https://vimeopro.com/user98187253/catholic-faith-network-cfn/video/404286328
I hope that this message finds you and your families well. I would like to say thank you for a number of things. So many of you have called to check on how I am doing. I am thankful to say that I have been well, all things considered. I am also very thankful for your prayers for those who are ill and for those who have died. Finally, I wish to thank those who have been incredibly generous to our parish during this difficult time by sending donations in the mail and through our electronic giving system.
Remember that the Lord is with us in every struggle and every joy. He knows our hearts and our minds and hears our prayers. We will get through this together with His help.
I have one announcement for you.
*Last night I received a communication from the Archdiocese. Mindful of everyone’s health, and for the sake of uniformity, palms are not to be distributed to the faithful on Palm Sunday. They may be blessed at a later date using the form of blessing outside of Mass. Palms are not to be placed for people to come and pick up. A future date for blessing and method of distribution will be announced. *
This past Friday, Pope Francis delivered an excellent spiritual message, to the city of Rome and to the entire world. I encourage you to read it, reflect on it, and bring those reflections to prayer. Here is the link.

You will all continue to be in my prayers. As we get closer to the Sacred Triduum I will be sending you my own reflections on this sacred season and this time of challenge.
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Matthew Reiman -
3/27/20 Update
To all parishioners,
I would just like to reach out to everyone to let you know that I have been thinking of you and praying for you. I have a few reflections during this time where I have had plenty of opportunities to think and pray in silence!- Jesus is with us during this time. He will help us through this. The Lord wants to hear our prayers. Even though we cannot gather together we are united in mind and heart as a parish.
- Heroes among us are rushing towards where it is dangerous to help other people. Many people are stepping forward to help others in incredible ways and this is blessed by God.
- This is also a time to remember that we have respect for the dignity of all human life. In this time when so many are fighting for survival and to help others survive, it is worth reflecting on those many ways in which our society can respect the dignity of human life from the womb to the tomb.
- One of my projects this Lent was to bring back to the tradition of covering all of the statues and images in church for the final two weeks of Lent with purple cloth. These are removed for Easter. This is a reminder of the somber tone of the season. It is especially appropriate this Lent when we are giving things up not by our own choice but through necessity. Let us remember that the cross was never the end of the story for Jesus and it is not the end of our story, either. A glorious resurrection awaits. We can all be in anticipation of the day when our churches are full again and lifting up our hearts to God as a community of faith. It will be a sign of the resurrection for all to see!
