A WELCOME TO NEW MEMBERS OF ST. EPHREM PARISH

We are so happy you are here today! Whether this is your first, fiftieth, or five hundredth time at St. Ephrem Church, we welcome you with open arms. We hope you feel at peace here, and that you are able to freely worship God in a warm, loving environment. We

are very proud of our St. Ephrem Parish family, and invite all of you to become part of that family.

If you are new to St. Ephrem, we encourage you to register as a member of our parish. You can do this

by seeing a priest before or after any of the weekend masses, or, if it is more convenient, you can make an

appointment to come to the rectory to register. Officially registering in the parish is great way to meet our priests and experience a more personal connection

to the Church. It is also the only way to receive offering envelopes and other important mailings to keep up to date with parish happenings. Most of all, registering will help you to feel part of our parish community. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to

speak with one of our priests or deacons. God bless you!

This & That (Fr. S. Katziner)

A Healing Prayer to St. Jude Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, I place myself in your care. Pray

for me; help me remember that I am not alone in my struggles. Please join me in

asking God to send me hope in my sorrow, courage in my fear, and healing in the midst of my challenges. Please ask our loving God to fill me with the grace to accept whatever my life holds and to strengthen my faith in

His healing power. Thank you, St. Jude, for the promise of hope you hold to all who believe, and inspire me to give this

gift of hope to others. Amen.

This was a healing prayer card sent to me before my June heart surgery.
