Prayer to Saint Roch
(The Patron Saint for the
Epidemic Diseases)
O Blessed St Roch,
Patron of the sick, Have pity on those
Who lie upon a bed of suffering.
Your power was so great
When you were in this world,
That by the sign of the Cross,
Many were healed of their diseases.
Now that you are in heaven,
Your power is not less. Offer, then, to God
Our sighs and tears.
And obtain for us that health we seek
Through Christ Our Lord Amen. -

Message from the Pastor
Let us pray for our Holy Father Pope Leo XIV:
A Shepherd for Our Times
On May 8, 2025, the Catholic Church witnessed a historic moment as Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected the 267th pope, taking the name Leo XIV. His election marks several significant firsts: he is the first American-born pope, the first from the Augustinian order, and only the second pontiff from the Americas, following Pope Francis.
Born on September 14, 1955, in Chicago, Illinois, Robert Prevost entered the Order of Saint Augustine and was ordained a priest in 1982. His commitment to service led him to Peru in 1985, where he ministered in the Diocese of Chulucanas during a time of significant social unrest. Despite facing threats from guerrilla forces, including a bomb attack on his church, he remained steadfast in his mission, earning the love and respect of the local community.
Prevost’s dedication saw him rise within the Augustinian order, eventually serving as its head from 2001 to 2013. In 2015, he was appointed bishop of Chiclayo, Peru, where he continued his pastoral work until 2023. His leadership style, characterized by humility and a deep connection with the faithful, reflects his belief in being a “shepherd that smells of the sheep.”
Pope Leo XIV’s election was met with joy and hope, especially among those who knew him during his missionary years. His experiences in Peru have profoundly shaped his vision for the Church, emphasizing unity, social justice, and a commitment to the marginalized.
As Pope Leo XIV begins his papacy, he faces a world in need of spiritual guidance and healing. His unique blend of pastoral experience, theological insight, and personal warmth positions him to lead the Church with compassion and clarity. We pray for his strength and wisdom as he embarks on this sacred journey.Fr. Albin Roby
