My Dear Parishioners,
 

• We are happy to say that more people are coming to Mass, but with seating requirements in our church, we will need more ushers to seat people.  We are also in need of Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist.  Please contact Freda Breed at fbreed@smgparish.org or 817-274-0643, ext. 234. 
• We will have Eucharistic Adoration in the church on Fridays from 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM.  We ask that as you leave Adoration, that you sanitize your area with the provided wipes in the middle aisle of the Church.  A mask is required. 
• 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. 
• 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.
• 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.     

Let us continue to pray for the safety of our families, parish and our nation.
 
Be assured of my love and prayers,
 
Fr. Jim
