Please stop by the rectory to

reserve your Masses.

From the Pastor's Desk:

Dear Parishioners of St. Florian,

Thank you for your generosity and for all you do for St.Florian. At this time, when the heating season is approach-ing, we are trying to meet the demands that this means.

As you know, our heating bills are high every year. Our

old Church boiler is not only old, it is not sufficient for

our needs. Once it is turned on our gas bills skyrocket

because the controls on the boiler are not precise. We

are still waiting for the TO TEACH WHO CHRIST IS

campaign to give us money to install a new boiler, but

we need to wait until the campaign is over before we

receive any money, so there is still a couple of years

ahead of us. Meanwhile we have to face high heating

bills. We are still paying on last winter's bills and the

new heating season will begin in about 2 months. To

prevent the accumulation of all the heating bills I would

like to ask you to increase your donation in the ENERGY

ENVELOPE. I hope that the heating season will be mild

for all of us, but once the Church boiler is turned on

we are still paying for the usage.

I will keep you in my prayers, please keep me in yours.

Yours in Christ

Fr. Robert

TRIDUUM PRAYER

Almighty God,You gather your Church in solemn

celebration ofthe mystery ofour Redemption.

Open our hearts and minds as we remember the dying

and the rising ofJesus so that we may appreciate

more deeply the mystery ofour own baptism.

May these days remind us that we are not alone

in our suffering nor without hope.

May the joy we share strengthen us to be witnesses

ofthe Gospel throughout the year.

We ask this in the name ofyour Son and our Lord

Jesus Christ.

Amen.
