Following Monday morning Mass at 7 am, the church and offices will be locked up for the day. Go enjoy the day with your family, if you are able to do so.

Fr. Bolin is out of office Monday, 10/6 through Friday, 10/6. There will be no daily Masses or Confessions. There will also be no 1st Friday or 1st Saturday Mass on 10/6 and 10/7.

There will be 7 am Mass on Monday, 9/4, but then no other activities at the parish for the day. Enjoy the holiday!

Reminder that the Sunday schedule changes, effective this weekend. 7 am spoken Mass is added, and the 11 am Mass slips back to 11:30, to make room for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd between Masses. Please see the parish calendar for full details.

Remember that 8/15 is a Holy Day of Obligation (precursor of word "holiday"). Masses at 7 am, noon, and 6 pm (4 adult confirmations in the 6 pm). Parish office is closed and no appointments for the day. Normal evening schedule is moot because of the evening Mass. See parish calendar for more details.

Fr. Bolin will be going out of town after the 7am Mass on Tuesday, July 25th and will be gone through Wednesday, July 26th. There will be no Confessions on 7/25 & 7/26, and no daily Mass on 7/26. The regular schedule will resume as normal on Friday 7/28.

Fr. Bolin leaves for his canonical retreat after the 7am Mass on Monday, July 10th and will be gone through Friday, July 14th.

Recognizing that most people will be enjoying 4th of July festivities, getting ready for fireworks, etc., the 5-7 pm time of confessions, Adoration, Evening Prayer, and Benediction is cancelled for tonight. Pray for America!

The parish office will be closed 7/3 - 7/4. Daily Mass and Confession will still be taking place, at the normal scheduled times.

Father will be gone on a couple of days of actual vacation 4/17-4/19, starting after the Monday 7 am Mass, returning late on Wednesday. No regular Confessions or Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament on those days.

The parish office will be closed on 4/10-4/14. There will still be a regular Monday 7 am Mass, but nothing else on Monday, 4/10. The normal schedule of Mass, Confession, Adoration, etc., will resume Tuesday, 4/11. Friday, 4/14 is still a Solemnity, so have a meaty Friday.
