Encouraging the Culture of Encounter with Jesus, Christ, His Church, and All People

 

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

 

Fr. Bob Pfeiffer and Fr. Sam Cicollini

This weekend I am out of town for my annual Canada trip, so Frs. Pfeiffer and Cicollini will be covering Masses during this time.  I appreciate their help, and I know they enjoy coming here to experience the love this community shows to God and to each other. 

 

Labor Day Mass

A reminder that Labor Day, Mass will be at 9am.

 

Adding a Parish Mass on Thursdays at 11:30am

I will be offering an additional daily Mass on Thursdays at 11:30am starting September 5. 

Now there is a slight complication.  If a funeral needed to be scheduled on a Thursday, then the 11:30 Mass would be canceled due to time restrictions and the fact that under canon law a priest is not to celebrate more than two Masses on a weekday.  While the impetus for this Mass came from “The Way” homeschool co-op, it is not exclusive to them.  This will be a parish Mass every Thursday, unless a funeral is scheduled.  People may call in and offer stipends for intentions connected with this Mass. However, know that if the Mass needs to be canceled due to a funeral, then the intention will also have to be moved.  I know this is something new for us, and maybe a little out of the ordinary, but let’s give it a try and see how it works.  Any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.

 

Soon to begin our Centenary

If you haven’t got your tickets yet for the September 22 dinner in Boeke Hall, be sure to call the rectory.  This will be the opening day to a year-long celebration, which will include the opening of a time capsule in October, liturgical anniversaries, a concert series, a visit from Bishop Perez for our Feast Day in January, and much more!  Be sure to keep an eye on the bulletin for upcoming events. 

 

Sincerely in Christ,

Fr. Pfr
