As we mentioned in last Sunday’s bulletin we will be adding a third Sunday morning Mass and will also be adjusting the Mass times accordingly. Below is the new Mass Schedule to begin on Sunday, September 13th:
7:00 am
9:00 am
11:00 am
Many parishioners have already emailed or called the parish office to indicate which Mass they would like to attend. In order to see that every household that regularly attends the 8:00 am and the 10:30 Mass will be given a chance to select the new Sunday Mass time they will want to attend, our ushers will have forms for recording your full name, the Mass you are now attending, and the Mass you wish to attend. While we will not have these forms at the 4 pm Mass; any Saturday vigil Mass goers may call or email the parish office if they would like to move to one of the Sunday Mass times.
The primary reason for adding the extra Sunday Mass is to make room for more individuals and families that are returning to the Holy Liturgy. We also anticipate that as the students return to religious education we will have more families in attendance (thus especially the need for the 9:00 and 11:00 am Masses). We thank you for your patience, understanding and flexibility in this most challenging process.
Please note that at this time we are only taking calls or emails for seating for the new Mass times from registered parishioners so that we can get all SFX households situated for the new schedule to begin on Sunday 13 September. Thank you.
