My Dear Parishioners,- Everyone is invited to our SMG Catholic School Holiday Open House and Tour on Thursday, December 3rd. If you have children of school age, you are encouraged to attend. Schedule a tour to explore our beautiful campus and school. Visit our school website HERE to register.
- The Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is December 8th. Mass times are Monday, December 7 at 6:30PM for the Vigil Mass and Tuesday, December 8 at 8:00AM AND 6:30PM.
- Since we are not having our confessions at the parishes in our Deanery this Christmas, we will have our own Advent Confession times with three priests at the Holy Family Life Center on Wednesday, December 16 from 6:00-7:00PM and Saturday, December 19 from 9:00-10:00AM.
- Please look at our website for our Christmas Mass schedule. In our desire to serve our parish family, I have decided to add serveral more Christmas Masses since we are limited because of social distancing and dealing with COVID-19. Our desire is to enable everyone to attend Mass at Christmas.
- Our weekend Mass schedule will be as usual: Saturday, 5:30 PM; Sunday 7:30 AM, 9:00 AM, 11:00 AM, and 1:00 PM with 270 people at each Mass with social distancing. People in attendance at Mass must wear masks over their mouths and noses inside the church to prevent the spread of the virus. Face shields alone are not allowed. Please enter the church by using the front doors only.
- The Sunday 9:00 AM Mass and the Daily 8:00 AM Masses (Monday-Saturday) will be live-streamed and can be watched anytime during the day at your convenience on our website.
- Because of safety concerns, Fr. Mike and myself will hear confessions in the Holy Family Life Center Saturday mornings from 9:00 – 10:00 AM. Masks must be worn with social distancing.
- I want to express a huge “Thank You” for your continued financial support of our parish as you put your envelopes in the basket at Mass or send your envelopes in the mail or drop them off at the office or use Faith Direct. We still need to run our parish and have bills to pay.

Be assured of my love and prayers,

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
-
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
