the IMPORTANT!  The Archbishop has dispensed with the Sunday Mass obligation and has instructed his priests to cancel all weekend Masses through the end of the month.  Please share this far and wide!  Most gatherings at the parish are canceled until the end of the month, daily updates will be made available on the parish app and Facebook page and on our new webpage under Our Parish titled COVID.  As of March 20, all daily Masses are now closed to the public.  Masses will be broadcast on Facebook live.  Church office will be open.  School is closed until further notice.  Teachers have prepared for the students to do distance learning.  Ms. Kerr is sending out information and keeping parents updated regularly.  Pray for healing, protection, and peace!

Reconciliation:  This is a difficult time and I want to take a minute or two to help with us not having reconciliation offered except in an emergency or mortal sin.  See the blog that I wrote a few years ago to the left.  Google the Pope, he has done some great teachings.  First, if you have a question as to whether your sin is a mortal sin or not, by definition, it is not!  Second, as the Pope has restated and the catechism is clear, if no priest is available, if you go to God and from the bottom of your heart, express your sorrow, you are forgiven and just go to reconciliation next time it is available. Also, anyone that is participating in a streamed Mass or watching on TV, when the Priest says, “May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins…”  all but mortal sins are forgiven.  Now, just because you can’t get to church, do you think a loving God is going to differentiate about being in the same space as the priest or not?  Now, when Mass is available again, being lazy, staying home, and just catching it on your phone, that is a different story.

Second Scrutiny:


Mass 4th Sunday of Lent

Many have asked about their envelopes. Thank you for even thinking about this. There are a few options.
1. Online Giving - Just click on the online giving to the right on this page and set up your account.  If you don't know how to set it up, come see us and we will help you out. We will have lots of school staff ready to help. Bring a credit card, cancelled check and your passwords.
2. Drop off your envelopes at the church office during regular office hours or if after hours drop them through the mail slot in the front door.  It sets off alarm, so we know to go get them. 
3. Put in money box in chapel. We will be checking that daily.
4. Save them up for next month. 

Bulletins will be available for pickup in the church office during our normal business hours.  They will also be available in the chapel.  If you do not have the code for entry to the chapel please stop by the church office and we will provide it for you.
You can also access the bulletin here on our website and on our parish app.

Pray for healing and peace!

With the Corna Virus on many people's minds these days, there is much concern about the chalice at Mass.  This is from the CDC:
Officials with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta said inquiries about Communion cup dangers have been small but steady over the years.  “Theoretically, there’s a risk,” spokeswoman Bonnie Hebert said, “but the risk is so small it’s probably undetectable.”

A study by Anne LaGrange Loving found no increased risk and has said in interviews that standing in line at the movies is more of a risk.  As a self-professed germaphobe and physician said, “I have to leave it in God’s hands.”  To read more about Ms. Loving's findings CLICK HERE.
