March 18, 2020Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
I appreciate your patience and understanding over during this trying time in our country and Church. Together as a community we continue to monitor and adhere to the effects of the Corona Virus (Covid-19) unfolding in the world. This is an unprecedented phenomenon that is changing the way we live and the way we come together as a community to worship.
During this time unprecedented challenges in the Church, I am challenging the entire Church community to use our electronic formats for the dissemination of information from our parish. We have our website: Sthyaicnth.org, which is updated daily with information about the activities that go on in the parish. There is Flocknotes, which is our information delivery service for the parish, in which we email and or text information about the activities of the parish. Go to Flocknote.com/sthyhouston and join the group “Parishioners”. We are on Facebook, go and ‘like’ our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/StHyacinthchurch .
My Job as Pastor is to encourage you to enter a deeper relationship with God through Jesus Christ. For the season of Lent, I want to encourage everyone on their downtime to use FORMED.org in which we have provided the password to every parishioner.
There are two studies on FORMED.org for Lent, that I am challenging everyone to be a part of:
The first study is called: Into the Desert: A Lenten Study On Prayer: Our Lord teaches that prayer is a relationship and a vital necessity. Follow Jesus into the desert this Lent and discover intimacy with God in this video-based study with daily meditations in the participants guide. This series captures the secret to opening our hearts and minds to Scripture as the means to hear from God and then respond in conversation, basking in his presence and resolving to live in and through his love.
The next offering is: A Lent to Remember, a Lenten encounter with Mercy. This series explores the ways God reaches out to each of us with his mercy. Through Christ’s suffering on the cross in the Paschal Mystery and his perpetual reception of his people in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, God makes his love, his very self, present to us in the world. Our parish Password to FORMED.org is 77GVZ3.
Even though the Church activities have been postponed for the time being, the work of the Church does not stop. We are continuing to perform maintenance on the Church building, rooms and facilities. Thank you for your continued generosity.
With the Coronavirus affected every aspect of the Church I want to challenge everyone to continue to support the Church during this time. I ask the faithful to continue to support the St Hyacinth community through on-line giving or by mail. This will ensure that our parish will be able to meet payrolls and pay monthly bills. Go to online giving tab at StHyacinth.org and either enroll online at www.faithdirect.net and our Church Code is TX526, or give online through paypal, Text to Give, or simply mail in your contribution into the Church. Thank you for your support.
God Bless,
Fr. Reginald Samuels
