Pope Francis has passed!
He passed early Monday morning,
April 21, 2025.
Statement of Cardinal Cupich on the Death of Pope Francis. April 21, 2025.
I have received word that our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has died. In this moment of profound loss for me personally and for the Church, I take this moment to express our gratitude to our Heavenly Father for the gift of his papacy and to pray for the repose of his soul. The finest memorial we can offer is to re-form our hearts as Pope Francis asked - to see our brothers and sisters, to listen to them and to offer our prayers and actions that all may experience the fullness of God’s promise. As we mourn his passing, I ask that God comfort us, but also strengthen us to remain steadfast in carrying on the work of restoring our Church’s place in the world as a source of hope and an advocate for those in need.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
and let Your perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace.
Amen

In the spirit of the Renew My Church initiative, the Parish Pastoral Council has collaborated and finalized a new St. Edna Parish Mission Statement (which now graces our Bulletin cover):
St. Edna Catholic Community calls and inspires all generations to be instruments of
Jesus’ love , mercy, & peace. This is our mission.
“Parish Spiritual Renewal”, as found in the Renew My Church principles, states that:
“Parishes are families of faith where we grow spiritually ---- both personally ---- and as a community; where we experience a profound and personal encounter with Jesus Christ through His Church; where we can fulfill our desire for mission and service; where we need to feel welcomed, loved and a deep sense of belonging.”
Our new Mission Statement encompasses all of the above and should be an inspiration for parishioners to deepen their commitment in making St. Edna Parish a community where all are welcomed and strengthened in their faith.

Do not respond to a text or email from “Fr. Darrio” OR "Fr. Paul" OR "Dcn. Joe Yannotta" OR "Dcn. Jim Pauwels" asking for a favor. It is a scam.
Scammers often use the name of a person or organization that you know to get your attention.
Please remember that we will never ask you to purchase gift cards on our behalf.
