Welcome to Your Parish
Prayer to Worship God Anew
3Send forth your light and your truth;
they will serve as my guide.
Let them bring me to your holy mountain,
to the place of your dwelling,
4Then I will go to the altar of God,
to God, my joy, my delight.
and I will praise you with the harp,
O God, my God.
Psalm 43:3-4
This Christmas may be a little different due to the chaos in our lives. It is during times of crisis and isolation that we need to nourish our minds and our hearts with the Word of God and nourish our bodies and souls with the Holy Eucharist in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Although we cannot gather as a community in Our Parish—Your Parish, what remains the same in our hearts and souls is the beautiful gift of our Catholic Faith we share that brings us together on the Birthday of the King, Our Lord Jesus Christ. -

January 21
January 20, 2021 My prayers are with our new President and his family today. I am praying that God grant him wisdom and courage to lead this great nation and that God help him to meet the tests of these times, to heal the wounds caused by this pandemic, to ease our intense political and cultural divisions, and to bring people together with renewed dedication to America’s founding purposes, to be one nation under God committed to liberty and equality for all. . .

January 5
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, As we continue our celebration of the Christmas season, I would like to wish all of you: clergy, religious and laity, a Happy New Year filled with God’s blessings. On January 1, we honored Mary as Mother of God and entrusted the New Year to her maternal protection. As we continue to face the reality of the pandemic, with all of its “ups and downs,” let us do so, with a steadfast spirit. All of us know, without a doubt, that the ups and downs will surely come, but we must not allow fear to get a foothold in our lives. We now have the lived experience of 2020 behind us and it gave us the insight to seriously, and prayerfully, prioritize our everyday lives with God at the center of it all. With fortitude, patience and inspiration we have avoided, by God’s grace, what could have been, an experience of spiritual paralysis. . . Click on the image to read the compete message.Read More

Prayer for Spiritual Communion
Composed by St. Alphonsus Liguori in the 18th century, this prayer for Spiritual Communion is especially applicable to livestream or online Masses (from Our Catholic Prayers).
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

It is through every ones' prayers and generous gifts that our Parish and Missions are kept alive to do God’s work in bringing together our community as one family from near and far away places. In keeping Fr. Andy’s memory alive, “’Mammoth Lakes is truly God’s Country, which keeps calling us back.” Again, thank you for your continued generosity in helping us during this pandemic and especially for all the prayers. May God’s blessings be numerous for you and your loved ones during this new year 2021.
