Patriarch Andre Letellier
of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Patriarch Andre Letellier of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

We are sorry to report that Patriarch Andre Letellier of the Sacred Heart of Jesus entered eternity on Friday, March 16th, 2012. He lived a life of love, faith and hope, always focused on God’s truth as revealed by Jesus Christ, with a deep devotion to the Blessed Mother. While we mourn his death, we rejoice in the certainty of the fullness of life he now enjoys in union with all the saints..

Marian Devotion

In honor of Mary, during the month of May we will be reciting the Rosary every Wednesday night at the start of night prayer. In addition, a decade of the Rosary will be said before the start of Mass on Sunday mornings. Please send us your special intentions so that we may pray for them during the recitation of the Rosary. We honor Mary for interceding on our behalf and leading us back to her Son.

Mother’s Day

As we celebrate Mother’s Day, we give thanks to all the wonderful women who have nurtured us throughout life. Let us also remember that May is the month of Mary, who was given to us by Jesus as mother of us all.

Upcoming Pancake Breakfast

Bethany’s Annual Pancake Breakfast will be on June 17th. Please join us for this fun event.

Bethany Food Drive

We will continue collecting non-perishable food items for area food pantries. Please bring your donations of canned goods and dry goods to Saturday evening and Sunday morning Masses. “Hunger never takes a vacation.”


Prayer Requests

As a community, we support each other through prayer in communion with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Please let us know of your prayer requests.
