DAILY MASS

The eucharist is a great source of God’s blessings.  I feel that we have some more people who could avail of

this blessing from time to time.  I encourage all who are able, to attend daily mass whenever possible.

 

PLEASE REMEMBER – Let us think carefully before we order.  When a box arrives, usually a bill arrives shortly thereafter.  Please also remember to check thermostats, lights and doors when leaving our buildings

 

 

PLEASE NOTE

The scripture readings for the daily masses are printed on the back of the bulletin.  We encourage you to try as a family to read these readings during the week so you will be united with those who attend daily mass and we will be united as a church family.

 

HOSPITAL…….. Due to the privacy act, hospitals no longer provide a list of patients for our use as clergy.  Accordingly, I need your assistance.  Please call the parish office when you have a family member, a friend, or relative hospitalized so that I may visit with them and pray with them.   –Fr. Ruane

 

CRY ROOM

In our churches, the purpose of the cry room is to help people with little babies, or small children who may be crying, or need attention.  I’m asking, as your priest and friend, if you have left the crying stage, please leave the room for those with little children who need it.  PS – Even in new churches, the cry room is being built intentionally small to keep members from slipping in there. – Fr.Ruane
