My parish is Divine word parish kayole.THE 2 SAINTS Arnold and Joseph Freinadernetz statues were put in our church recently. by Father Tony. i will devotedly pray for their intercession to pray for our parish and bring sanity in the church. There is a lot of desecration with women(RECTORS) entering the sacristy and sitting at the altar. young ladies who change the altar covers and have no reverence. liturgical dancers who i don't understand whom they entertain. God is to be worshiped and adored but not dancing. no wonder we have so many problems today. eucharistic ministers who have no business holding our blessed master.
plus a lot of protestantism or even worse.
i believe the 2 saints will sort out these issues.otherwise the shepherds(priests) really try to guide the pilgrim church.
God bless.
