August11:  August 15th is the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed VIrgin Mary. While this is still a Feast day in 2022 it is not a day of Obligation to attend Mass.
Covid is spiking in some areas so please be safe, considerate and healthy.

Please see at the right the "INTO THE BREACH" Video series by Knights of Columbus, Its free. Yes it is for men but Wives and Women help your man become more of the man you want him to be by watching with him also.
Its Free what do you have to loose. COMPARED to what you have to GAIN.

We are still missing some people who have not been back to Mass since Covid hit so if you know of anyone please personally invite them to come back. We would like to see all the family back. 
With all the information about new strains, new shots, and new restrictions Life has become a challenge to say the least and the normal we once knew is now in our history books.
It is really hard to know where the line is between cautious and over cautious, Where do you put your faith in GOD and where do you use the wisdom He gave you to keep safe? 
During Mass we want to share the sign of Peace but we also have a responsibility to those at Mass with us to not unnecessarily expose them also or for that part ourselves either. We (the Church) at this time chose to be cautious and suggest a wave or nod instead of Handshake.
Check the Bulletin as always to make sure Mass times are as you expected..
God Bless
Deacon Richard
