The First Sunday of November 29, 2020

An Act of Spiritual

My Jesus, I believe that Thou art present in the Blessed Sacrament. I love Thee above all things and I desire Thee in my soul. Since I cannot now receive Thee sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though Thou wert already there, I embrace Thee and unite myself wholly to Thee; permit not that I should ever be separated from Thee. Amen.

Consider making a contribution to our DSA collection and our Priests Retirement collection. We are still short of our assessed goals and will be responsible for the difference if the needs are not met.

You can find extra envelopes near every basket drop off area of the church. Thank you!

We would like to have an idea of how many people will be attending Mass during the Christmas holiday to be sure we have enough space and Mass times to accommodate every- one during the pandemic. (This is not a sign up).
