Week of July 18, 2021

Dear Friends,

Jesus says to the Twelve when they return from their mission: “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” The Lord brings the apostles with Him to the “deserted place” so they can spend time with Him alone, in prayer and friendship. During the summer hopefully many of us will get some time like this; usually a vacation. It is good to enjoy the time with family and friends and to step away from the regular routine to be rejuvenated. The Lord’s example reminds us that these times, like all others, are blessed.

Many of us have had to face the difficult challenges imposed by health issues, whether for a loved one or for ourselves. If the issue is serious and post-hospital care is needed then decisions have to be made often very quickly. My family faced this situation several times when my dad was ill. Recently I was in a conversation with a parishioner who faced the situation for herself. The decisions are many and they are often affected by many issues such as insurance, Medicare/Medicaid, various rehab facilities and so on. We are in the process of setting up a presentation for parishioners to help raise awareness of these kinds of issues. The purpose will be to help attendees to understand some of the decisions that they might be asked to make and to provide information so that they and their families can make good decisions. The presentation will not be focused on end-of-life issues (that will be another program). This will be for serious illnesses that might require care either at home or a residential facility. More information will follow in our bulletin, website and other means of communications.

Have a great week.

God bless,
Monsignor Prior
