From the Southeast Nebraska Register
(SNR) – Father Brian Wirth, diocesan moderator for Catholic Rural Life (CRL), in partnership with the Diocese of Salina, Kan. CRL chapter, will lead a virtual novena to St. Isidore the Farmer May 6-14.
Participants may join Bishop James Conley of Lincoln, Bishop Jerry Vincke of Salina, Father Wirth and other priests and deacons from both respective dioceses in prayer.
In his April 29 column, Bishop Conley shared the experiences of pastors in Lincoln Diocese parishes who were affected by recent wildfires amidst a severe drought.
“I have an urgent plea for all,” he said. “Please pray for rain…. Meteorologists have forecasted that many parts of Nebraska will remain in a very substantial drought. This drought will cause serious problems for crops and livestock as we move into the summer if we do not receive increased moisture.”
The novena prayers will be presented in a Zoom call. The Zoom link will be open 15 minutes early each day for people to get logged in and situated before the prayers begin.
Concluding the novena Monday, May 16, St. John the Baptist Parish in Hanover, Kan., will host a Mass celebrated by Bishop Vincke at 11a.m., followed by a lunch for all participants.

Friday, May 6 at 7 p.m. – Bishop James Conley, Diocese of Lincoln, Neb.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
