Saint Dorothy Parish

We missed our Annual Oktoberfest so much this year! Funds raised from events like Oktoberfest would always go directly to our parish school. Consider making a gift on this #GivingTuesday in the amount you would have purchased in tickets?

Dear Parish Family, A pious tradition taught to me by the IHM Sisters was the Novena prayer of Saint Andrew. It is to be prayed 15 times a day between the feast of Saint Andrew and Christmas Eve. Let your petitions be known and confidently believe that the Lord will answer. Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in piercing cold. In that hour, vouchsafe, O my God! to hear my prayer and grant my desires, through the merits of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, and of His Blessed Mother

Dear Parish Family, The scammers are relentless and clever. They have used what looks like an official St Dorothy email account to solicit funds from you in my name for their own evil purposes.

I am happy to share the latest encyclical given by Pope Francis this past weekend. In our world today it’s imperative to remember, we are all brothers and sisters!

This is a sample of one of the emails which went out

Dear Parish Family, The scammers are at it again. Some people are receiving personal emails allegedly from me. They all have a common theme, asking the recipient to send gift cards or cash to me for someone in need. The messages have different body content but the same ultimate requests. $$$$. Please, if you get such an email with my name as the sender know it’s not from me.

Dear Parish Family, I apologize to all of you who worship virtually with us every Sunday. We had a mix-up today and the person who was scheduled to live-stream the Mass was unaware they were scheduled. Therefore, no one was available to work the camera systems. We will try to make sure this mistake is not repeated in the future Sincerely,... Fr. Murphy See more

Dear Parish Family, I received a note from one of our parishioners in which she enclosed a sample of what St Pius X Parish are doing for all of their Sunday Masses. Because of the ongoing pandemic we have not been able to provide our parish family with the missalettes and hymnals which usually are in our pews. Many of you have expressed disappointment at not being able to sing the hymns at Mass or follow the readings. Below is the sample of a handout we will now provide ...Continue reading
