Many have received government checks - helping so many in need. If yours isn't as needed, perhaps you can pass it on to family or friends who are in need.   You also might want to consider part to St. Mildred or our Outreach (a good way to pass it on to those in need. )

Mass During the Pandemic

​

Mass has resumed with the following changes:

• Social distancing will be observed. 

• Masks will be provided and used during Mass.

• At communion time, approach with social distance of six feet from the person in front of you and with your mask still in place, bow reverently, extend your hand, receive the host in your hand “throne”, lower your mask, consume the host, and return to your pew. We are not using the words “Body of Christ….or Amen” due to close proximity.

• You can attend in the O'Bryan Center (parish hall) where the Mass will be televised or you can park your car in the parish parking lot. Communion will be brought to you in the O’Bryan Center or in your parked car at communion time.

Prayer During A Health Crisis

Compassionate and Loving Father,

In the face of confusion and concern

impart to us the calm of your presence.

In You allow us to find hope and healing.

Be with those who serve the sick and give them Your caring hands.

Be with those who lead and give them Your Spirit of wisdom.

Be with those who have fallen ill and give them Your comforting heart.

Wrap your arms around our world

and hold us in your love.

Allow us at this time of trial to then

serve as instruments of that love to all we meet.

We ask this in Your Name.

Amen.
