Dear beloved families and friends;
              How are you? Did you have a great week? I truly hope it was. I had a busy one but a great week by the grace of God. I welcome you back. Please join me to welcome Archbishop Launay Saturne, Archbishop of the Metropolitan of Cap-Haitien, Haiti and President of the conference of Bishop of Haiti. Indeed, together as a family we welcome him at St. David and wish him a great and enjoyable stay.
            Beloved, as I often do, I pray for your well-being, your families and those who are dear to you. Again, I hope that you are having a great Easter season. On this Fifth Sunday of Easter, let us continue to focus on what it means to us. Also , let us continue to pray for peace in the world especially for the people of Ukraine. Yes, they do need our prayers. Let us also pray that peace will overcome war, and that Jesus, the Prince of Peace, may continue to lead the world.
            Throughout the month of May, we are called to honor and venerate Mary, the mother of Jesus and the mother of mankind. As an intercessor, we ask her to do what she did at the wedding at Cana, which is to take our causes and bring them to her son Jesus. May the month of May help us to understand the role that Mary played after receiving the Angel. Yes, we honor Mary because on the cross, Jesus gave her to us as our mother and to her, us as her children.
           Beloved families, please continue to protect yourself and your loved ones. Indeed, we love Mary and she loves us back. I truly pray that you may have a very  successful and productive week. Let us continue to pray for one another so that through prayers, we may remain connected. May God be with you throughout the week. May you see Jesus in those you have the opportunity to encounter and may they see Jesus in us as well.
           My friends, your Pastor wishes you a week filled with joy, peace, happiness and blessings. Please stay safe throughout the week. I remain your truly and always,
Father Oswald Pierre Pierre-Jules, Jr. S.S.J., Your Pastor

         My Jesus, I believe in the the most Blessed Sacrament. 
         I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my                soul.  Since I can not now 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

        I  suggested  all Catholics continue to make   their contributions                    to the Church as they would have at Mass.  If you participated in                    the envelope system, mail your check to your parish Church.  If                        you usually put cash in the collection, consider writing a check                      and sending it.  I would also like to suggest increasing your                              contribution.  After all, what do you have to  spending on?                                  Restaurants, bars, movie theaters, etc. are closed.  Our parishes                     still have to pay bills.
