Greetings all...
We wanted to share some good news with you regarding masking. Beginning this weekend, Oct. 1/2, we are no longer requiring the clergy and extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion to put on masks during the distribution of Holy Communion. A small change you may also note is that the ciborium containing the hosts will remain uncovered but still a distance away from the priest during the communion rites. We thank everyone for their patience and cooperation.
Prayer for those Affected by Hurricanes
O God, we come before you with heavy hearts as we read the news of Hurricanes Ian and Fiona and the path of death and destruction they leave in their wake.
We pray for those in Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Florida, and many other communities as they face the loss of lives, widespread power outages, and decimated homes and buildings. May God grant strength to all impacted by horrific storms, safety to those still facing imminent threat, and fortitude to those working to provide relief and care.
Amen.
