In tough and challenging times, we are grateful for all those who are making an effort to send in their contributions either through the mail or by dropping them off at the church or parish office.  We’re also grateful to those who are giving electronically at Give Central—which is becoming more popular in today’s world, and another way to give when you’re not physically present. Our mission is to be able to build up the Body of Christ in our world around us, and we’re making every effort to keep it going. Thank you for continuing your support in these extraordinary times.   

A Spiritual Communion Prayer Service will be available every Sunday throughout this time when we do not have Mass. It is patterned after the Mass, is unique to St. Hubert with a reflection by Fr. Mike, and provides a way to keep our community connected and in prayer. When we cannot receive the Eucharist in person, we can still receive it by desire. Spiritual Communion is a profound prayer of longing to be with Christ. If you have a crucifix or an image of Christ on holy card or a statue, consider using it as a focal point for your time of prayer. 

Self-compassion can help if the virus is causing you unnecessary anxiety, limiting your ability to work or travel, reducing your income, or if you or someone you know has already contracted the virus. A self-compassionate response to the COVID-19 epidemic may look something like this, modeled on the Self-compassion Break:

We are so grateful to St. Hubert for partnering with WINGS and recognizing that victims of domestic violence are some of our most vulnerable neighbors.  And that those who serve our clients are in every sense of the word, first responders, although many times hidden from view. While we are doing everything possible to keep our agency up and running, the Covid-19 pandemic crisis is nevertheless already taking its toll.  The following provides detail as to how Covid-19 is affecting WINGS.

“AND JESUS WEPT.”

A Reflection by Pat Aschom

A Spiritual Communion Prayer Service will be available every Sunday throughout this time when we do not have Mass. It is patterned after the Mass, is unique to St. Hubert with a reflection by Fr. Mike, and provides a way to keep our community connected and in prayer. When we cannot receive the Eucharist in person, we can still receive it by desire.

As we go through these unprecedented times, let’s stay together. Visit this website for updates, resources and ways to stay involved in the faith, and connected with St. Hubert Parishioners. Visit our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/sainthubertchurch or stay connected electronically with emails sent through Flocknotes. (Look for the icons at the very top right corner of our website to quickly access these pages.) We are looking for more ways to connect with everyone, and hope to provide additional opportunities soon, especially as we approach Palm Sunday and Holy Week.

Make a Difference to Those in Need

We pray also for doctors, nurses, and caregivers, for public health officials and all civic leaders. May God grant them courage and prudence as they seek to respond to this emergency with compassion and in service to the common good.

With so many things shutting down, our hearts go out to those losing income.  Our parish home is feeling the same thing.  We rely on Sunday contributions to be able to maintain the church and school and to keep them going. We need electricity, water, heat, to pay salaries and to do what it takes to maintain the property and buildings.  There’s a lot that’s lost in not being able to be together to support each other.
