Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Priesthood Sunday We are welcoming a seminarian from Borromeo Seminary. As I write this I do not know who is coming but he will visit us and share his story of discerning God’s call. Thanks to Ron McAvoy and the Serran Club who set up the wonderful display in the Narthex, which reminds all of us to live our vocation in holiness, and to foster vocations to priestly and religious life. The Serrans are a group dedicated to praying for and fostering religious vocations. Perhaps God is calling you to be a Serran. Check them out!

New Mass Schedule Starts November 5 “Blessed are the flexible, for they will not be bent out of shape.” After broad consultation with parishioners, we are changing our Mass schedule 4:30 Vigil Mass and 8am Mass will remain when they are. The current 9:30 and 11:30 will combine into a 10:30am. I propose this new schedule to begin November 5th and that we examine its fruits over a three month period (taking us through our parish feast day in January).

Encouraging the Culture of Encounter with Jesus Christ, His Church, and All People Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, New Mass Schedule Starts November Thank you again to all who participated in our discernment sessions and have shared their thoughts in person and/or through the surveys. I have taken this especially into consideration. Also, I noted the surrounding parishes’ Mass schedules and consulted with a number of our liturgical ministers as well as our parish staff. You will note that the schedule is not only the Masses, but includes scheduled adoration time, confessions, and Faith Formation. I propose this new schedule to begin November 5th and that we examine its fruits over a three-month period (taking us through our parish feast day in January).
