Reverend Victor T. Martin
Pastor

   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.

Father Martin has been sending out to the parish every wednesday a weekly email. This is to keep you informed. If you are missing out because you never sent us your email or changed your email, please send us a new one and become informed.
Please send your email to stthoaq@aol.com
