     Thank you to our faithful parishioners who have already participated in the Annual Pastoral Appeal this year. In addition to helping thousands in need across our diocese, your gift is an enormous help to our parish in strengthening our own ministry and maintaining a vibrant faith community.

     This weekend, we are going for the goal. It is within reach. Our regular contributors have gotten us this far. Every gift makes a difference!

     We need your help today to support many ministries, programs and services that help our parish and all parishes within our five-county diocese.

     In order to provide a safe and effective environment for worship and ministry, the Bishop utilizes the Office of Construction to oversee all major construction projects and maintenance processes affecting facilities within the Diocese. The office assists parishes and diocesan centers in the design and construction of new buildings, additions, remodeling, and renovations, as well as maintaining those facilities to provide safe, comfortable, efficient and aesthetically pleasing physical environment.

      As Christian stewards, we receive God’s gifts gratefully, cultivate them responsibly, share them lovingly in justice with others and return them with increase to the Lord. For information about APA and the ministries it supports, www.dosp.org/2021ministryupdate.

     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 $79,055 in pledges and $79,258.14, has been paid by 244 families. This leaves a balance of $6,402.86 We need a small gift of $50 pledges from those who have not yet pledged. Fill out and drop your pledge in the basket.  Thank you for doing your part.

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.
