Blessings upon you, St. Francis Xavier Parish for your generosity!
Since it looks like we will be in this state for a little while, I thought it would be beneficial for me to send out some online materials that you can use to go deeper into your faith.

There is a great program out there called, "FORMED", aka the "Catholic Netflix." Through the generosity of St. Francis Xavier Parish in Winooski, we can access it for free and can learn more about our faith while stuck at home. Here is how you can get access to it:
https://formed.org/
a. Just click the link
b. Then, click on “Sign-up”
c. Then click on “I belong to a parish or organization”
d. Then type in “05404”, and click on “St. Francis Xavier Church, and click “Next”
e. Type in your name
f. Type in your email address
g. Grow deeper in your faith and binge watch all the Catholic material you want while quarantined over the next few weeks!

I will be giving regular updates as we power through this experience. Also, many people have called me to see how they can still contribute to the weekly collection. As of now, you can simply mail in your weekly tithe (OLA, PO Box 428, Randolph, VT 05060 or OLV, PO Box 63, Bethel, VT 05032). We are also looking into an online giving program that we can put up on the website--more to come on that soon.

God bless you all, and be assured of my prayers!

In Christ,

Fr. Gratton

P.S. St. Joseph, Patron Saint of the Worldwide Church, Pray for us!
