Sunday, 7:30 a.m.       Sunday, 8:30 a.m.          Sunday, 10 a.m.

Since gathering guidelines strongly urge the use of face coverings, and in light of the increasing number of Covid-19 cases, those who attend Mass are asked to wear the recommended face covering.

At the present time, St. Patrick’s is limited to 50% occupancy. However, to respect social distancing norms, only about 60 people can be admitted.

Please be aware that once capacity is reached, no further entry will be allowed. Please plan your attendance with the limited capacity and expanded Mass schedule in mind. Plan to be flexible. Plan to exercise patience and charity.

All Catholics remain dispensed from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass. Those who wish to gather for the celebration of holy Mass, and who are otherwise healthy, may do so. If you are sick in any way, or have any kind of cough, you should remain at home. Those who have underlying health conditions that make them more vulnerable to Covid-19 should follow the recommendations of health professionals.

St. Patrick’s Church has been and will continue to be sanitized according to recommended guidelines.

St. Patricians,

Although the weather was gray and cold on Saturday, a fine crowd gathered, and we were able to celebrate Mass beautifully outside under the oak tree.

Sunday, though — Mother’s Day — was extraordinarily beautiful, and the faithful of St. Patrick’s gathered together for 8:30 and 10 a.m. Masses. It was good to see so many familiar faces, and to welcome many new ones from near and far, as we celebrated holy Mass.

Our prayers go out to all mothers, living and deceased, on this special day that honors them and the gift of life that they gave to us.

This past Wednesday, May 6, marked one year since I officially became pastor at St. Patrick’s. How blessed I am, and how grateful to God, that I was sent here to be your priest.

My love and prayers are with you all,

Fr. Guillory

 

Fr. Guillory will again offer Mass outdoors according to our normal Mass schedule: Saturday, 4 p.m.; Sunday, 8:30 and 10 a.m. Masses will be held under the oak tree in the parish hall parking lot (right across from St. Patrick Church).

If you decide to come, you are asked to wear a mask or some face covering, and to stay six feet away from other families. We have plenty of seating available, but you may wish to bring your own lawn chair.

There is no obligation to attend Mass this weekend, as Catholics remained dispensed from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays. However, last weekend’s Masses were beautiful, and it looks like we’ll be enjoying good weather again this coming weekend!
