Note From Father

About the Flu Vaccine

Getting the flu shot this year is very important. Since the vaccine helps a person to have less complicated flus, being vaccinated this year may help us avoid having to go to the doctor's office or to the emergency room. The vaccine helps us avoid places where we may expose ourselves to catching the coronavirus that causes Covid-19.

The regular flu vaccine protects against three strains of the flu viruses. This year there is a special vaccine that protects against four strains of the flu viruses, which is recommended for people over 65 years of age.


The flu shot can be given to a six-month-old baby. Drugstores can only give them to children over three or four years of age. Vaccines for children under this age are given in doctors' offices.


The flu vaccine for this year 2020 is now available. It is recommended to receive it in September or October preferably to be protected throughout the cold season. People over 65 or with weak immune systems are recommended to get it after the middle of September, in order to be protected throughout the cold season.


Pregnant women should get a flu shot in order to be protected, as they tend to have more complicated flus.


Not all flu vaccines are egg-based. There is an egg-free vaccine for people allergic to eggs. The flu vaccine can also be received as nasal drops, for those who fear needles.

The cost of the flu vaccine for people without health insurance is about $ 40 for the regular vaccine against three strains of the viruses and about $ 70 for the vaccine against all four strains of the viruses.


Children generally receive their first flu shot, a first dose, at six months of age, and a second dose four weeks later. Children under 9 years of age who never received two doses of the vaccine need to get the two doses, four weeks apart, the first time.

Stewardship Thought

We  can hear God speaking to us today in the words of the father to his  elder son: “You are with me always, and everything I have is yours.”  What is my response to such remarkable generosity? Do I give joyfully  and generously as God gives to me? 

Altar Flowers

Would  you like to enhance the celebration of our weekend liturgies? The  flowers that we enjoy each weekend are donated by parishioners for  various reasons: in memory of a deceased loved one, in celebration of a  special event such as a baptism , marriage or anniversary, or as a  loving gesture. For further information, please contact  the office  252-523-8898.

A Prayer for Our Troops

“Dear  God; We pray to give all of our soldiers the courage and strength to do  the duty that is required of them. May they always remember our  appreciation for the sacrifice they are making for us. We are thankful  for the men and women who are willing to risk their lives to protect our  freedom. We ask you to go with each one of them and protect them  wherever they go.” Amen.

Vocation Awareness

God  is the father with the open arms. Who will preach this good news of  reconciliation? Consider service as a priest or deacon, brother or  sister. 

(Luke 15:1-32)
