Bulletin Article: August 30

On September 14th at 6pm our parish will again hold an open forum on Zoom. Please save the date and time and join us if you are able. I found the past open forum on Zoom to be very successful and look forward to trying this again. The room number and agenda will be made available in the near future.


We are currently putting together a third homebound list for the parish which will work in conjunction to our lists of those in a nursing home or at home. This list is for those who are currently unable to come to Mass due to COVID-19. If you know of someone who may need to be placed on this list please have them call the parish office to leave their name. This list will assist in our parish being able to reach out to them while they are unable to be with us at Mass.


Finally, our parish is currently developing first Saturday devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. On this day it is traditional to attend Mass receiving communion in the state of grace, make confession, and pray at least five decades of the rosary. On first Saturday there will normally be two priests who will be present to hear confessions. In time there will be an image of the Immaculate Heart of Mary which will be purchased which will be present at each first Saturday Mass. It is my hope that this devotion will enkindle devotion to the Blessed Mother and will aid many in making use of the sacrament of Confession on routine basis. 


In Christ,

Fr. Dustin Collins
