This past weekend (September 12^th and 13^th) was a delightful surprise to me with the return of so many parishioners to one of our weekend Masses.

       The 10:00 a.m. Mass even had about 50 persons seated and standing for the Eucharist and the Saturday Mass was very nearly full.

        I guess my sermon and flock note the prior week struck a chord with a good number of you. Sometimes I wonder if anyone is listening and now I know. To say the least, I was elated: However, this presents a new challenge and sooner than we had planned for.

       At this point, it seems we will return to our original weekend schedule of Masses at 5:00 p.m. Saturday and 8:15 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. on Sunday. Obviously, the 10:00 a.m. Mass we’ve been doing will then be cancelled. We would like to do this the weekend of September 26^th and 27^th. Our online PSR will be affected. A revised schedule has been sent out.

      I do regret the short notice for this change, but I was caught off guard by the number of attendees this past weekend. It’s a good problem for us to have.

      Thanks to all for your patience and understanding as we continue to keep your safety a priority here at St. Edward’s as we return, ever so gradually, to worship together.

God bless,

Msgr. Enke
