     The Communications Office of the diocese has inspired our community to be United in Christ while separated because of quarantines and social distancing during 2020. Six communication workshops were held this year, DOSP social media platforms gained popularity and Holy Week liturgies with Bishop Parkes were livestreamed across all platforms.

     We are a community of steadfast servants to the Gospel, coming together to grow in our faith, nurture our children with a love of God and progress toward the greater good. Every pledge helps those in need of services within our Diocese.

     We can do this! With a few more donors joining the ranks, now is the time to add your pledge and help us to make our share needed by the diocese of $85,661. To reach this goal, support from every family helps. Thus far we have received $74,491 in pledges and $66,538.30 has been paid by 226 families.

      Our summer attendance at Mass is at 550 people, that is counting women and children as the bible said at feeding the multitudes. We need 100 pledges at $150, or 50 pledges at $300 to make our obligation this year. Thank you for your pledge. Envelopes are at the church doors. Fill it out and drop in the basket.  Thank you for doing your part and God Bless you.

Making our way back to Mass and

reception of Holy Communion.

    Summer is underway and we are looking forward to see more people make their way back to church. This has been a long dry spell of waiting for it to be safe to gather.

     People ask what is the proper protocol when returning to church. It seems prudent to encourage those attending Mass who desire to wear a mask and observe social distance to do so. We are aware that there are some unable to wear masks due to health or personal reasons. The number of cases are down with the vaccines for those attending Mass  We will continue to be cautious and if needed wear masks and social distancing to keep those vulnerable protected from the virus.

     Breaking Bread Hymnals will be kept at the doors of the church to be picked up when you arrive and replaced when you leave. Please do not leave the books in the pews. The 4:00 PM Mass will continue to be online for those at home. Please call the office if you like Holy Communion brought to your home. Confession is held on Thursdays at 3:00 to 4:00 and 7:00 to 7:30 pm or call the parish office for an appointment. Please notify the parish office if you are sick and would like to have the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick.

    We like to hear from the pews your suggestion so please make us of the suggestion boxes at the doors or give us a call. Thank you for belonging to St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church.
