Mother Jo Ann's Corner

      This month I want to suggest to you a book that is a Mountains Beyond Mountainsfavorite of mine, Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder. It is the story of the life of Dr. Paul Farmer, a man who would cure the world.  

     In medical school, Dr. Farmer found his life's calling: to cure infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving tools of modern medicine to those who need them most.  Tracy Kidder's magnificent account shows how one person can make a difference in solving global health problems through a clear-eyed understanding of the interaction of politics, wealth, social systems, and disease.  It takes us from Harvard to Haiti, Peru, Cuba, and Russia as Farmer changes people's minds through his dedication to the philosophy that "the only real nation is humanity."  

           Go to Mother Jo Ann's Corner for sermons, suggested readings, and more...

When to Call a Priest
  • When someone in your family dies. Call immediately. We would really like to be involved as your loved one approaches death. We don' t mind your waking us up, and we want to be on hand and available to you in the midst of your grief, not just after the fact.
  • When someone in your family is critically ill. Call immediately. We will do our best to see them in the hospital as soon as possible.
  • When someone in your family is going to have surgery. Call in advance. We are happy to bring communion to the hospital, or to have healing prayers with those awaiting surgery.
  • When you or someone in your family is having a crisis of faith. Call to make an appointment to come and sit down for a conversation. You really are our top priority and we will see you just as soon as possible.
  • When someone in your family is planning a wedding. Call to make an appointment to come in and meet the priest who will perform the service.
  • When someone in your family loses a job, or loses a friend to death, or is suffering from chemical dependency or depression.
  • When a child is born, it's great to get a call even before the birth. We'd like the opportunity to make a visit to bless both parents and child.
  • When something wonderful is happening in your life. We know it is important to share you saddest times, but we want to be with you in the best times of your life, too.
