Dear Friend,
We hope you had a great Juneteenth and Father's Day weekend!
One of the suggestions that accompanied the passage of the bill making Juneteenth a national holiday was that the nation that Americans could use the time from June 19 to July 4 as an opportunity to reflect on the gift and responsibility of freedom.
As a church community which beacons its members toward contemplation and action, this idea hits home. We know that our nation is divided and wounded even as we mutually cherish a hard-earned freedom. May our contemplation of the grace of freedom lead us toward greater unity and mutual respect for one another.
Resources to pray at home with your household this weekend will be emailed to you on Saturday morning and the live stream of our Mass is always available at www.standrew.org/sundaymass.
Below are a few key notifications for Saint Andrew Parish for the week ahead.
Saturday Evening Mass Returns
This Saturday, June 24, 2021 we will restore our weekly 4:00pm Saturday Evening Vigil Mass. This leaves our current weekend Mass schedule as follows: Saturday at 4pm and Sunday at 9am and 11am. We still keep distance between pews for seating and masks are required to be worn unless an individual is vaccinated. Reservations to attend Mass are not currently required. We hope to worship God together with you this weekend!
