FIRST FRIDAY MEMORIALS MAY 2024-APRIL 2025 

The First Friday Memorial is a special offering made by St. Elizabeth parishioners, which lists your intentions for deceased loved ones in our bulletin, and these listed names are then remembered monthly at Mass each First Friday through the year. The Memorial names are printed each week in our Sunday Bulletin. A yearly donation of $60.00 is requested for these intentions to be listed. This donation allows the names to be printed constantly in our bulletin, in the exact same way other bulletin ads are funded, and all the funds go to offset the cost of printing our bulletin. This is not a donation for a Mass intention since the money does not, and by Canon Law cannot, go into the Mass stipend account, as taking any money for large, so-called “collective intentions” (where multiple names are listed for the Mass intention) is explicitly forbid-den. Father is happy to remember these names collectively once a month at Mass with no stipend involved. Your donation is a publishing/printing fee, ultimately paid to our printer in Godfrey, Illinois.

You are encouraged to attend this weekday Mass. You may list your intentions as one individual name: Mary Jones, or you may list family groupings: The Jones Family. You may NOT submit a litany of individual names or multiple families, as space will not permit. If you wish to continue having your past inten-tions remembered at these Masses, you will be asked to renew your donation each year. Please fill out this form below and return it to the Parish Office as soon as possible with the requested donation.

Feel free to call the Parish Office at 877-3300 during business hours which are 8:00am-4:00pm Monday through Friday. We will be happy to answer any questions you have regarding those who are remembered each First Friday.

Dcn. Daniel will return to St. Elizabeth June 1 & 2 to celebrate Mass with us. We will have a reception after each Mass in the Harmony Room for him and cards or gifts can be shared with him personally as well. You can also drop off a card or gift at the parish office and we will ensure he receives them.

If you would like to be present at the ordination at the Cathedral in Springfield and are interested in car pooling options, please contact the parish office immediately. All are welcome! The ordination will also be streamed at spicathedral.org.

Additionally, Daniel Mauro of the Diocese of Kansas City Kansas, who was also with us during the 2022-23 school year, will be ordained a Deacon on Saturday, May 18 at the Cathedral of St. Peter the Apostle in Kansas City, Kansas. His address is : Dcn Daniel Mauro 5200 Glennon Dr. Saint Louis, MO 63119
