***SPECIAL URBI ET ORBI BLESSING***
In response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Pope Francis gave an extraordinary blessing “urbi et orbi” (to the city and the world) on March 27. The formal blessing, usually given only immediately after a new pope’s election and on Christmas and Easter, carried with it a plenary indulgence for all who followed by television, internet or radio.
St. Agnes, Red Lodge and St. Thomas the Apostle are using FLOCKNOTE to communicate with their parishoners. It lets you receive email or text messages from the groups and ministries that you choose. It even allows you to send a reply. Contact your parish to participate.
