You are invited to pray the Novena for the Dead, for 9 consecutive days, beginning on February 2, 2021. This is the 40 day feast of Fr. Chuck’s passing.
You can pray the novena alone at your convenience each day, or you might choose to arrange to pray it with others. You are also invited to join in a daily live prayer, which will be led by Patty Jones on Zoom at 7pm.
The Novena Prayers will be posted here and on the Parish Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Immaculate-Conception-Church-180692318623126/) for each of the days of the novena. You will find the prayers for each of the 9 days posted here and on FB by 8pm the evening before. They will be clearly identified for each day.
If you are inclined and able to join the live Zoom prayer you will find the link in the posting of the prayer each day.
The last day of this novena for Fr Peterson will be Wednesday, 10 February.
2 – A BOOK OF MEMORIES
Following the novena you are invited to bring written memories, stories, photos, etc. and leave them in a basket which will be placed at the shrine of The Virgin Mary, on the porch next to the church. You can bring your items between 2 and 4 pm each day from Wednesday the 10th to Saturday the 13th of February. Once collected, these memorials of Fr Chuck will be assembled into a Book Of Memories for Fr. Chuck’s family.
Also, everyone outside of Bethel may send their memories to the church at PO Box 429, Bethel, AK 99559 to be included in the book.
