Adult groups may continue to meet with the insistence of masks and social distancing (this INCLUDES RCIA). There will be NO CHANGE in the Mass/ Communion service/Adoration and Reconciliation schedule. The on-line Mass continues along with 6:30 Communion service on Wed. mornings and Eucharist at the Rosary Walk at 12:00 noon on Wed. (weather permitting) If you need to meet with Fr. Jerry, please arrange an appointment. As usual, contact Fr. Jerry for emergency situations. Our in-person Faith Formation students will be contacted with information to continue studies at home. We continue to encourage those Faith Formation students who are home schooling to be persistent in their work. |

The Knights of Columbus are sponsoring a Keep Christ in Christmas poster contest. This program encourages youth to engage their creative talent and imagination while understanding the true, spiritual meaning of Christmas. All children ages 5-12 are invited to participate. Posters must include the slogan reflecting the topic - Keep Christ in Christmas and be an original work. See full list of rules on entry form.

Consecration to the Holy Family will be December 26th & 27th. The purpose of this special mass is to strengthen families. The Knights of Columbus invite each family in the parish to consecrate themselves to the Holy Family and to devote themselves to the ideal model of familial love set by Jesus, Mary and Joseph. In preparation for this celebration, Holy Family Prayer cards will be handed out by a member of the Knights of Columbus following masses on December 19-20. During the week leading up to the consecration masses, families should pray the prayer on the Holy Family Prayer Card together each day. In this prayer, we ask for the aid or intercession of the perfect son Jesus Christ, Mary the perfect mother and Joseph, who is a model for every father. In addition, you are encouraged to fast from something that would normally be consumed and attend confession. Consecration to the Holy Family is not a single event. It is choosing a way of life for your family. Through this consecration, each participant is consciously choosing to be a beacon of God’s love through his Church. |
