HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
Mar
None this week
“If anyone would serve me,” says Jesus in today’s Gospel, “let him follow
me; where I am, there will my servant
be.” In what way is Jesus inviting me
to follow Him? What service is He
asking of me?
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
All of us must cling to God through prayer and
sacrifice. Only then will we be able to see Christ
in the needs of our neighbors.
Thank you!
Parishioners of Saint Francis Xavier,
Saint Gregory the Great and Saint
Michael, I have arrived in India,
where I am presently enjoying visiting
family members. Thank you all for the warm Farewell
you gave me – I was overwhelmed with your many
acts of kindness - your prayers, monetary donations,
but mostly your gifts of love which were shown to me
during my time in Enid. Please pray for me, as I will
continue to pray for you. All of you will always have a
special place in my heart. Fr. Rajesh
March 24 & 29 – 6pm “Learning to Pray with Fr.
Carson”, Parish hall.
If you would like to help with our Wine.
Please put a check for $15 in the collection with “Wine” on the memo
line.

Thank You
There is so much to be thankful in our
parish’s in Enid. I want to high light a few
occasions. First, I want to thank the pastoral council’s of St. Francis and St. Gregory’s for organizing the farewell party and
receptions for Fr. Rajesh. I am truly grateful for your efforts and the care you
showed in all aspects of the events. I
know Fr. Rajesh was grateful. Second,
a thanks to everyone in all our parishes
for your support of Fr. Rajesh. He was really sad to leave us, but knows we will
pray for him daily.
Third, this years St. Joseph’s 5K Run went
very well due to the work of the school and
the especially the parents of the school.
For all who worked so hard to make that
event a success, thank you.
I ask you to say a few prayers. One, this
weekend the Hispanic community will
have a small retreat. Please offer your
prayers for those who attend. Also, next
Saturday (March 28) 9am-4pm in the Leven
Center we will have a retreat for the Anglo
community. We welcome Fr. Shane Tharp
to Enid and pray that he and all who participate will be blessed.
