Happy Saturday Everyone!
We wanted to share information with you all about a Special Invitation to virtually "Journey to Lourdes". In the coming months, the North American Volunteers will journey to the Grotto on three very special days.
Saturday, October 3 - First Saturday in the month of the Holy Rosary
Sunday, November 1 - All Saints Day
Tuesday, December 8 - Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Each Lourdes Virtual Pilgrimage Experience is led by a trained guide. The Eucharistic Exposition, Benediction, Rosary and blessing will broadcast live from different parishes each month. Please click HERE to visit the North American Volunteers website to reserve your spot and request a pilgrimage kit. A blessed pilgrimage kit including Lourdes Water, an image of Our Lady in the Grotto that has been touched to an actual piece of the Grotto at Lourdes (third class relic), a candle and a rosary will be mailed to all that RSVP for the online broadcasts.
We are blessed to have a full schedule of masses at Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Michael. Please visit our website to VIEW MASS TIMES.
Please visit our website to VIEW THE BULLETIN each week. We have a special event coming up next weekend. The Annual St. Michael Feast Day Celebration on Sunday, September 27. Outdoor Mass at 3:00pm. Please join us for an afternoon of fellowship and a picnic after the Mass. The church is providing the meat and drinks so please bring a side dish or dessert to share.
It is very understandable that many of you are not comfortable coming to church due to health and safety concerns. Please visit our website to watch one of our mass recordings. Click on the following link and scroll down on the home page to VIEW MASS RECORDING.
With regard to church finances, our collections on average during this pandemic have been very low. Please consider donating to help our Parishes remain financially secure during this challenging time. You may U.S. Mail your donation to the church office at 103 Golf Club Lane, Springfield, TN 37172, or use the "Bill Pay" feature of your personal bank's website. This service is normally provided free of charge both to you (the bank's customer), and to the church; or, donate through our secure website with a check or credit card payment: https://ollsm.com/online-giving
Please keep the Faith during this challenging time in our world. Remember, we are all in this together as Christians and we all walk this path together with Our Lord! Our faith leads us to have Hope and keep Christ in our hearts. To maintain that trust in the Lord it is important to pray daily and ask the Lord to watch over you and your loved ones.
