1.  I pray everyday for every parishioner, for protection, for calm, and that this time may be one of spiritual growth.  Please call or email any special requests.

2.  I am taping all the Masses from now until this is over.  They will all be on Facebook live; for now on my personal page and the parish page.  We had an issue this morning with one feed, so always check the other.  For weekend Mass, there will be a link on our homepage to that Mass.

3.  Church will be open every Sunday from 8:00 AM - 1 PM for adoration.  We will have ministries signed up to cover each hour and you are welcome to be here.  Holy Grounds will be open after most morning Masses and on Sunday morning.  There will be no chairs.  You can practice social distancing outside. 

4.  We are open.  We are here for you.  Do not hesitate to call or stop by the church office so we can assist you with whatever questions or needs you may have. 

5.  I have been saving money for the new Chillers that we will need for the Church and a youth minister.  Those are all on hold until we see the financial ramifications of this new way of operating.  Please continue to tithe.  We took over a $10,000 hit the first weekend.  It will not take long for our reserves to be depleted if that trend continues.

6.  Fish Fries are ON!  That money is coming back to the parish.  Please support the Knights and your parish.

7.  Bulletins will still be available each week.  They will be placed in the church, in the chapel, and in the church office.  You will also be able to access them on the parish website and the parish app.
