Dear Friends:
Memorial Day is right around the corner on May 25. I’d like to ask for your help in order to honor the brave men and women who have served our country, this also includes our first responders, fire, city, county and state police who died in the line of duty.
I know how powerful prayer can be. Prayer can lift us up and give us hope. Prayer can heal and inspire. And this Memorial Day, I want to join together in prayer for those who have served our country, now, and the past. Will you join me?
I invite you to show your love, and respect for our Veterans, and first responders past, and present, by driving past St. John's on Memorial Weekend and to offer a prayer in front of the War Dead Memorial at the corner of Hickory and Division. In the evening we will have solar votives lit and flags flanking the memorial honoring our heroes who gave their lives for others. Together, our prayers will be lifted toward Heaven.
Peace and all good,
Brother Ed Arambasich, OFM
Fire Chaplain
