The Most Holy Body And Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi)
Dear Parishioners,
During the first days of summer, we will be tearing the old rectory down. Please do not get too close to the job site. There will be fencing up and trucks will be coming and going. The demolition will take about two weeks.
This Sunday we will start collecting donations with the baskets again. Please hold your donations until the offertory. During the month of June, we will also be reintroducing other aspects of worship that we are familiar with. We are waiting for information about the next phase of reopening from the State of Illinois. Then we will move forward.
I started an eight-day retreat on the 1st of June. I was not able to make a retreat last year because of the pandemic. I will not be writing my daily reflections during this time. Messages and emails will be returned when I come back. Fr. Matthew is taking care of any pastoral needs you may have. Please feel free to call him.
I will be praying for all during my retreat days. I have a lot of issues to “unpack” due to the events of the last year.
May Our Lady and All the Angels and Saints watch over you this week.
Fr. Mark
