August 7 Weekly News
Feast of the Assumption - Aug 15
Living Rosary after 4 PM Mass. The Mason-Dixon Council Knights of Columbus will hold a living Rosary after the 4:00 pm Mass on Saturday, August 15. We invite members of the Parish to attend and pray along with us. We dedicate this Rosary to the Blessed Mother and ask her intercession to help end COVID-19. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, we will not use the lighted Rosary, so please bring you own. All health practices employed at Mass will still apply.
Because the feast falls on a Saturday this year, it is not a Holy Day of Obligation.
Outdoor Mass at 8:00 AM on Sunday begins next week, August 16. We need a team of four volunteers for each outdoor Mass. Please volunteer to help using the Sign Up list on Flocknotes. Adult volunteers must be Virtus-trained.
Faith Formation Registration open. Information below in Back to School and Youth Ministry sections. Registration is due by August 15th in order to receive the discounted tuition.
Our Daily Bread. We are collecting casseroles on Tuesday (8/11). We are now collecting every other week. Details in the Helping Others section.
The Food Pantry is open on Saturday August 15. Cash donations are needed. Details in the Helping Others section.
Fall Fried Chicken Dinner Canceled. After much thought and prayer we have decided the Fall Fried Chicken Dinner must be canceled. We realize this is a fund-raiser for the parish and the profit earned helps the church financially. We thought about doing just carryout but there are too many obstacles. For example:
- Social Distancing – Impossible to accomplish 6‟ apart in the fry room and the kitchen
- Personnel Protection Equipment – the cost involved
- Ordering the food – how much
- Most important – the safety of our volunteers
We hope in 2021 we can again have the Spring and Fall Fried Chicken Dinners. Thank you for your support.
