Dear Sisters and Brothers of St. Mary Parish and Beyond.
I want to share with you some connections with our Bishop that he’s making available to his diocesan flock through Saint Gabriel Radio.
Bishop Brennan is making Friday, March 27, a
Day of Prayer and Penance in the Diocese of Columbus. This day of prayer will be broadcast on Saint Gabriel Radio (AM820 in Central Ohio, FM88.3 in Southern Ohio, and live-streamed at
www.stgabrielradio.com. This will be available from 8AM-5PM.
Here is a link and a graphic:

“Mass for the Sick" with the readings appointed for Friday in the Fourth Week of Lent.
Please note that
www.stgabrielradio.com ALSO gives you another link: "Bishop Brennan - Radio Archives." There you’ll find daily meditations and updates from our Bishop during this Coronavirus emergency. Check it out.
Before the end of this week the Bishop will provide the priests more definitive guidelines for parishes regarding Holy Week and Easter liturgies. I have NO expectation that there will be any relaxation of his initial directive that
all public Masses and liturgies are suspended through Easter. I’ll keep you informed.
Two more things: 1. Please forward this email to others. 2. Pray for one another!
Your loving pastor in Christ with Mary, Father John
