Dear Parishioners,
It was great to celebrate the Sunday Eucharist with parishioners present in church this past weekend. As we attempted to live stream the Mass on Sunday for those unable to join us, we had our glitches, but in the end it came to fruition. As mentioned during the announcements at Mass, Bishop Kettler has dispensed the obligation to participate in the Sunday Mass until further notice. If you are unable to view our parish Mass there are the options of the Diocesan Mass, EWTN Mass, and other recorded Masses. Most importantly let the Day of the Lord be a special day of prayer and reflection on the scripture readings of the day.
All of us have been impacted by the protesting and rioting triggered by the death of George Floyd. It is imperative that we pray for “ALL” persons involved. We pray for justice and an end to senseless destructive behavior. It is tremendously encouraging to see how many in the communities impacted by violence are working together to rebuild their neighborhoods, businesses and the larger communities.
Covid-19 concerns remain as we seek to resume the celebration of parish liturgies and other parish events. On June 9th there will be a Zoom Meeting of interested parishioners in how we should proceed regarding our parish festivals. Call the parish office for details.
If you are planning a baptism, wedding or funeral, please call the parish office as the protocols that are in place for the Celebration of the Eucharist are also in place for the celebration of these sacraments and liturgies.
Lastly, I received an update today from Bishop Kettler encouraging the use of face masks during the celebration of the Eucharist. We may be carriers of the virus and not even be aware of it. Washing of hands and use of sanitizer will help control the spread of the virus significantly.
We have entered Ordinary Time in the Church Liturgical Calendar but for the next couple of Sunday’s we will be celebrating two special solemnities, The Most Holy Trinity and The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. May the Holy Spirit of Pentecost prepare our hearts and souls to embrace these mysteries of Faith.
In Christ,
Fr. Don Wagner
Please prayerfully consider continuing to support our parish during this time. You can mail your donations in or use you banking bill pay option. If you have questions or need help, please call the office.
