Dear Parishioners,

I hope to have some more details on the resumption of Masses for you tomorrow. We will have a Dean’s Council meeting on zoom today on that topic. At this point, though, we are waiting for the civil authorities to decide when and how we can open.

Today is the feast of St. Bernadine of Siena. Here is another saint who proved his heroic virtue in the midst of a pandemic. You can read about his life here: https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-bernardine-of-siena/

Earlier in the week I shared with you the news about a potential vaccine from Moderna. Here is an article that raises some concerns about Moderna’s announcement: https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexandrasternlicht/2020/05/19/scientists-raise-questions-about-moderna-vaccine-in-market-shaking-report/#9f2c1c82136f

God bless you all, Fr. LaHood
