Dear Corpus Christi, St. Ladislas and St. Mary Parishioners:

Bishop Brennan, after meeting with the Presbyteral Council (Priest representatives from across the diocese), and with an abundance of precaution for the health and well-being of the people of the Diocese of Columbus, has announced that all churches are to remain closed through May 3rd.

This means that our church buildings cannot be opened for Personal Prayer, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, or confessions until at least after Easter. Like you all must be feeling, this move greatly saddens me. However, we must take any and all steps to slow the spread of this dangerous virus.

I thank you for your patience and thoughtfulness as the guidelines keep changing and ask for your continued support and understanding.

Let us all pray in our own homes for the patience to endure this trial and a quick and safe end to the virus.

Please keep Msgr. Carl Clagett in your prayers; he died late this morning at Mount Carmel-East Hospital from natural causes; he was 91 years of age.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.  May his soul and all the souls of the faithfully departed rest in peace.  Amen.

In the circumstances of public Mass being suspended and Lenten penance services being canceled, there are devotions that enable you to receive forgiveness of your sins (under certain conditions) and the consolation of the grace of the Eucharist. These devotions have been encouraged by the church in times of great distress and have been practiced by the saints.
