Facing Unusual Times – Tips for Prayer – Week IV – by Fr HP

Since Tuesday, 24th March 2020, we have been reading step by step The Mass on the World, written in 1923 by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955), a Jesuit priest, a theologian and a palaeontologist, whilst he was working as part of a team in palaeontological fieldwork in the Ordos desert, a barren landscape, west of Peking, near the border with Inner Mongolia.

This past week we read Part V, the final Part of the essay
(See https://catholic.lu/2020/04/20/facing-unusual-times-part-x-by-fr-hp/

Family in urgent need

It has come to our attention that a Catholic Albanian Refugee family that some of you might have met at St. Alphonse have run into financial difficulty recently. They lack funds for rent and food.  In keeping with the tradition of helping our neighbours we  wonder if some members of our parish might be willing to help out in this critical time period.  We are sure that the family will really appreciate whatever donations of funds come their way.

To make a donation by bank transfer please contact the parish office for the bank account details.
