Feast of the Assumption of Mary

This Wednesday, Aug. 15th we honor the Mother of God who was assumed into heaven at the end of her earthly life. Masses will be according to the regular holy day schedule. Vigil Mass on Tuesday Aug 14th at 7 p.m. and on Wednesday at 7 a.m. and noon.

Our Lady of Fatima Statue Here on Thursday

The travelling statue will be here this Thursday beginning with mass at 7a.m. in the church followed by veneration in the side chapel. At 6:30 p.m. there will be a rosary followed with a talk by Bill Sockey, the statue’s custodian. He will highlight the 50th anniversary of the apparitions at Fatima.

Another Payment from Upon This Rock

We just received a check for $9082.71, representing our 35% portion of all pledge payments made by parishioners to this diocesan campaign. Distributions, to date, have amounted to $63,046.25. These funds are most welcome. We expect that you will soon see some concrete results in the form of automatic external door openers. And a replacement for the cemetery truck.

Booking Masses for 2019

The 2019 Mass calendar is now available. When you request a mass intention remember that:
* Weekend Masses are prime time. To be fair, we can only schedule one weekend mass per person per year.
* We limit weekend mass intentions to the anniversary of death (as close as possible), a birthday or perhaps the wedding anniversary.
* When you request a mass, please try to write down the name of the deceased person as well as your phone number. Leave this information in the collection basket or the office.
* Each mass is for all the faithful since the death of the Lord was “once for all.”
