Fr. Cooper will celebrate a special Thanksgiving Vigil Mass on Wednesday, November 24th at 7:00 PM with the traditional blessing and distribution of Bread and Wine. Thanksgiving Day is a special time to remember the blessings we have received from God, so that we can be a more thankful people every day. The reasons for having grateful hearts make up a long litany: the gift of life itself, faith in a God who loves us and is very near to us, good health, loving family, caring friends, opportunities to serve, food on our tables, roofs over our heads. Yes, we have our times of doubt, our worries and anxieties throughout the Covid-19 Pandemic and in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, our aches and pains, our family conflicts, and our economic struggles. But despite all the challenges during 2021, we are incredibly blessed! There will be a 7:30 AM Mass on Thanksgiving morning, Thursday, November 25th.
