WWPR New Daily Mass Schedule
Effective June 1, we will be changing the daily Mass schedule here in the region.
I know that change is rarely popular, but we have been discussing this
internally for some time, and I am convinced that this is necessary for a number of reasons, including:
- Planning for the future and the Beacons of Light initiative, when we might be paired with even more parishes in our area
- An increasing difficulty in finding priests to cover Masses, especially with the bilingual need
- An increase in the amount we have had to spend to bring in outside priests to cover a number of the eighteen regular Masses we have in our region each week
- Attempting to create a schedule with more reasonable expectations for myself and Fr. Jeff, specially given that school Masses, funerals, and nursing home Masses are starting back up
- Above all else, prioritizing our ability as clergy and as a staff to be present to our people, rather than simply rushing from one thing to the next. We believe that being present to our people is where conversion happens, and that, after all, is what it’s all about Thanks for your understanding, and I appreciate you joining us in making this sacrifice with us. Fr. McC
