Three Important Changes

Dear Parishioners,

This weekend there are three (3) important changes that go into effect. You already know about the new Schedule for weekend and daily Masses. A constant reference is the updated sign board on the front corner of the church building.

Also this weekend we begin distribution of Communion under both forms of consecrated bread and wine at all the Masses. Please note the position of the Communion Stations and where you will be directed to receive. Hopefully, it will simplify our procession and keep to a “careful and reverent” reception of the Eucharist.People in the pews along the Walls of the church process all the way down the wall aisles and receive Communion at the Stations by the side doors and return to their pews up a Statue Aisle with the arrow.  (see the Diagram posted with the story on the website)

People in the middle pews enter the middle aisle and process down to a Communion Station and return to their pews up the same Statue Aisle indicated with an arrow.

Finally, the third change this weekend is that our meal program to the homeless will be open now Monday through Friday only, and other organizations located elsewhere will provide service to the homeless. We will still have our hot meals five times a month and our weekly Thursday distribution of food goods to families.

Thank you for your attention and cooperation with these three changes. We hope they enable us to serve you better here at the parish.

Remember that next weekend for the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary, the rosary will be recited together in church a half hour before every Mass.

St. Bernard and St. Mary pray for us to our Lord.

God bless you all, Fr. Dan
