Prior to the start of Advent our parish held its last open forum. There were roughly 25 users who logged into the forum. Various topics which were brought up was our parish’s need for volunteers especially to our youth ministry program which has been struggling to find them, the desire to have a young adult group, need for newer technology on our campus, and outreach to those who are in need especially the homeless. The Parish Pastoral Council has set the next date for our Parish Open Forum for February 8th from 6:30pm-7:30pm.
This week we will come to celebrate the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. Within the Diocese of Knoxville there is not currently an obligation to attend any Masses due to COVID-19, but I believe it very important to offer ample opportunity to attend Mass. Therefore, the vigil Mass will be December 7th at 7pm (Spanish) and on December 8th Mass will be offered at 6:30am (Latin), 8:30am, 12:15pm, and 7pm.
On December 12th we celebrate another Marian Feast. This time the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Mass will be held in Spanish for this occasion on December 11th at 7pm and in English at 8:30am on December 12th.
Please continue to be attentive to confession being heard 30 minutes prior to Sunday obligation Masses. These new times are Saturday at 4:30pm and Sunday at 7:30am, 9:30am, 11:30am, and 1:30pm. If you desire to make a confession at these times please be in line on time. Also, be aware that Sister Maria Juan will join us on December 19th to offer our Parish Advent Day of Recollection from 9am-12pm.
In Christ,
Fr. Dustin Collins
