Updated Note on Face Coverings: The latest Executive Order signed by Governor Janet Mills states all owners and operators of all indoor public spaces must not allow those who refuse to wear a face covering to enter or remain in their venue. We continue to be blessed to be able to gather SANITIZE for Mass to celebrate God’s Word and share in the Holy Eucharist as a parish family, but be reminded that proper and effective face covering must be worn during Mass and must be properly worn, covering the entire nose and mouth, through the entirety of the Mass. No KEEP scarves, handkerchiefs, or face shields alone are acceptable. If wearing a face shield, it must be accompanied with a face mask. This is for all parishioners who are attending our Masses. Wear Face You may adjust your face mask when receiving Communion: After you receive the Host you Covering may step aside, remove your mask to place the Host in your mouth, then place your face mask back on and return to your pew. The wearing of face masks properly and for the duration of Mass is essential for the protection and safety of all churchgoers, and is an act of Christian charity. Wearing a face mask at this time is a sacrifice we can ask Our Lord for the strength to bear—and He will help us! We thank you for helping to keep all of us safe by doing so.

Please remember Bishop Robert Deeley’s dispensation from Sunday Mass is still in effect. Below are options for attending Mass—in person or live-streamed. See the front page of the bulletin for both the weekend and weekday schedule.

GOSPEL: JN 1:6-8, 19-28

The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And coming to her, he said, “Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.” But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. “Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” But Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?” And the angel said to her in reply, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God.” Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.” Readings from UCCB.org: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/121320.cfm Monday, Dec. 7, 2020 at 7:15pm Fr.
