The Holy Father has asked that all Catholics all over the world, during
the month of May, to especially ask the Blessed Mother to intercede on our
behalf for all those who are affected by the virus in any way. In our
church, beginning with this Sunday, May 3rd, and all Sundays in May, we
will live stream Moleben to Mary the Mother of God on Sundays, at

we unite together as people of faith during this time.
