Please remember our parish priest and his wife in your prayers, Fr. Jacob and Mat. Rebecca. He is in ICU, with flu, pneumonia and a possible staph infection.

 Memory Eternal! Fr. Jacob died during his unction service in ICU. May The Lord ease the sorrow of his widow, and all who mourn his passing. May The Lord forgive him all his sins, and grant him eternal life among His saints. Memory Eternal! |

I am very grateful to have known Fr. Jacob for the short year that I did. He was such a genuine person who truly cared for those around him. His life was devoted to Christ, our parish (serving 3-4 liturgies per week), and to feeding the poor and homeless through our parishes food program.
This all just seemed to happen so fast. Still cant really believe it.
You will be missed tremendously my friend.
Memory Eternal.
