The Bishops Appeal funds many things throughout the diocese that are of benefit to all of us. Click this link: What Does the Appeal Fund? for this information.  This year it can fund the remodel of Thelen Hall if we all participate in this Appeal.

Guidelines  for attending Mass:

•    There will be no shared Holy Water in the fonts. We will provide small personal sized bottles that each family that come to mass can take and keep. Each recipient of  a Holy Water bottle should bring it back to mass each time mass is attended and can continue to be use it until all restrictions are lifted. If it runs out it can be refilled using the tank in the corner of the Narthex. 
•    All books have been removed from all the pews
•    All mass attendees, are asked to wear masks
•    Every other pew will be roped off so nobody will be in close contact.
•    Gifts will already be at the altar – nobody will be bringing them up
•    No choir – if someone is interested in being a cantor that would be great.
•    No physical contact for offering the sign peace
•    No distribution of the precious blood

Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God. I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.

Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you, and Jesusasleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. 

​St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls - Pray for me.
