3 Published Intentions There are certain intentions that are available, for a week at a time. People may do this, so as a parish family we may pray for those persons who may need it, who have helped others, or just because we wish them prayers. Candles (The Tabernacle or The Blessed Mother) may be lit in memory of a loved one or for special occasions, healing, or thanksgiving. Flowers for the Altar for either church may be purchased for the same purpose. Prayer Box One prayer box is to pray for people that are ill or just need the prayers. There is another box so we may pray for those who have just been baptized, have just joined the parish, newly married, or have recently passed on. If you wish to reserve a candle, purchase flowers for either Altar or put a name of a loved one in a prayer box, please contact the Rectory Office Phone: Around the Parish Baptisms -Take place on Saturday s at 1:00PM.

I am asking all our parishioners to take the following precautions to help mitigate the effects of the influenza (flu). Parishioners are asked not to shake hands with the Priest, Deacons, Altar Servers and Eucharistic Ministers before/after Mass. Parishioners are asked to share the Sign of Peace with fellow parishioners without touching hands or kissing. This can be done with meaningful eye contact, smiles, and a bow of the head in reverence to one another or the Holy Wave. Thank you, Father Beck 3
