Hello my parish family,
Just wanted to send you an email about this weekend. Mass for Palm Sunday will be live-streamed on Facebook Live at 9:30am. Looking at the Sunday schedule, I decided to go with the time in the middle for our live Mass. As a reminder, all scheduled intentions will still be offered respectively and not combined in one Mass by the celebrant. The intention for that live-streamed Mass will be the one for the living and deceased members of our parish.
For those not on Facebook, we will be posting the video on YouTube later that morning as soon as we are able.
We will then be doing something very special later that morning ...
From 11:00am to 11:30am, we will be offering a "drive by" blessing with our Eucharistic Lord in the monstrance.
The way this will work ...
I will be standing by the flagpole in the front of the church holding the monstrance. Each car will stop their car briefly in front of me. I will then bless all those in the car with the monstrance ... and then you will drive off so that the next car may receive their blessing. Very easy and very powerful!
In this time where we are not able to give you Holy Communion, this option is an opportunity to receive an extremely powerful blessing by Our Eucharistic Lord. Since we are not able to distribute palms this year, this is a powerful alternative that we are able to impart upon you and your families ... and so I hope that you will all take advantage of this unique and powerful gift!
Know of my continued prayers for you and your loved ones at this time, and may Our Lord continue to watch over and bless you!
In Jesus and Mary,
Fr. Grady
P.S. We hope many were able to take advantage of our "Drive Thru" confessions today. We will be looking at another time to do the same during Holy Week. Please stay connected via Flocknote for upcoming information on that and the rest of our Holy Week schedule.
