Dear Partners in Ministry,
Plenty going on, but not a lot to say about it... enjoy a somewhat briefer post today!
CONFIRMATION MASS THIS WEEKEND
If you're at all able to join us for the 11 am Mass this Sunday, please do, as it's our Confirmation Mass with Fr. Terry presiding. The music selections are on their own sheet in the Ordinary Time III selections (see link at the end of the post). All stuff we know pretty well... we'll cover it all tomorrow night.
REMINDER: PARISH FEAST DAY WITH BISHOP WOOST: OCTOBER 16, 11:00 AM
Our newly-minted Auxilliary Bishop, Michael Woost, will be joining us as presider for the 11:00 Mass on October 16, the weekend our parish celebrates the feast day of our namesake. The music is mostly the same as the other Masses, with two exceptions:
- At the end of the Gospel reading, we'll sing one additional refrain of the Alleluia.
- We'll sing "O God, Hear Us" during the Prayer of the Faithful.
