We are late in posting Fr. Romanowski's piece from last week's bulletin. Here it is.
Our Lord uses St. Mary's for the salvation of souls. In the world of the twenty-first century, we are to be at the head of the battle against Satan and his evil forces. Those forces come in many different ways. There are the aggressive ones which are the easiest to face up to, namely the pro-abortion groups. The middle group is made up of those who pretend to be persecuted, namely those whose ancestors were really persecuted. They want to take full advantage of the easy pay-offs. And the most insidious are those who pretend to be the defenders of the persecuted. They wish to "help the poor," meanwhile staying rich themselves. These are the modern Pharisees. During the war [with Satan], they are known as collaborators.
We oppose all three groups and the others of a similar caste because they all are enemies of Our Lord and His Church. This is the reason why we are extending Eucharistic Adoration starting Monday February 23rd in the year of Our Lord. Those who have been so faithful through the past twelve or so years shouldn't mind adding an hour on to the schedule, I am sure.
We are continuing to fight the good fight that St. Paul outlines for us, from whom we are the continued recipients of intercession with God. Never forget the way to fight evil is only through the Power and Glory of Our Lord, who always sends His Spirit and His Immaculate Mother to protect us and show us the way to victory here and in eternity.
Lest we forget:
Now and Forever!

- Come to Mass or Eucharistic Adoration more during Lent and you'll continue to do so the rest of the year!
- Marian Movement: 4th Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm.

Now and Forever!
