Spiritual communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love you above all things, and I long for you in my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. ... I adore Thee in the Sacrament of Thy love, the ineffable Eucharist.

Prayer to end covid-19 byPope Francis
Pope Francis’s Prayer to Mary during Coronavirus Pandemic
O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm.
You, Salvation of Your People, know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection. Amen.
Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.
(Adapted from Vatican News.)

a note from our pastor
It is wonderful to have our St. Agatha School off and running with our new and returning students full of energy and enthusiasm. Principal Nancy Carr and her faculty and staff deserve enormous credit for all they have done and are doing to make this a year where faith, learning, and safety are our highest priorities.
We are also getting ready for another great year of Faith Formation for grades one through ten where the joy of learning more about our Catholic faith will occur at a number of on-site group events, but also in the family setting with assistance from our devoted core of catechists all under the direction and guidance of Mrs. Beth Peterson for grades 1-6, and Mrs. Helen Waring for grades 7-10.

St. Agatha Parish Mass AttendanceDuring COVID-19
We ask anyone in attendance at Sunday Masses to fill out an online form so that we can have accurate contact information in case the need to contact attendees arises. You only need to fill out the form and leave your information one time.
If we were to discover that someone at any given Mass tests positive for COVID-19 in the following weeks, we want to be able to inform all of you so that, in consultation with your physician, you can take the appropriate steps. Please note that any notice will not include the name of the person who tested positive, which will be kept confidential, but only the Mass (date and time) which they attended and any other relevant non-personal information.
Even if you do not choose to leave your name and contact information, please know that we will make any announcement of a positive test on the parish website as well, so please check the website on a regular basis.
