15th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear Parishioners,
I would like to announce that we have added a new receptionist to our staff. We have hired Melissa Hoffman. She will be starting in our office this week. Melissa and her family are members of our parish. She will be working about 20 hours a week and will be answering the door and phone calls. She will also be helping with pastoral care and the welcome committee. She will have other duties beside. She has a degree from St. Ambrose and has taught religion at the high school level in the past. Please make her feel welcome.
This week we will be adding a 6:30am Masses Tuesday through Friday. This Mass time was popular before the pandemic hit a year and a half ago. There is no other parish in the area that has such an early Mass. If you would like to attend Mass before going to work in the morning this is your opportunity. Please tell those that you know that this Mass is back.
Our Eucharistic Adoration is also moving back to St. Francis Chapel this week. We will begin adoration after the 6:30am Mass on Wednesdays and close adoration at 11:30 am. We will see how this schedule works out.
May Our Lady and All the Angels and Saints watch over you this week.
Fr. Mark
P.S. Congratulations to Fr. Matthew who celebrated his 25th anniversary of ordination last week. Thank you to those who helped with his reception last Sunday.
