Thank you!
To those coming to Mass, thank you for complying with diocesan and parish guidelines, enduring masks and participating fully. Thank you to Mother Mary’s Music Makers who have figured out how to minister at the 11:00 Mass while being 6 ft. distanced and to Peggy McCann and Rebecca Kreeger for music at 5:30 and 8:30. Thank you to our Ministers of Hospitality and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. Lectors, thank you for understanding and standing down for right now.
To those not yet coming to Mass, thank you for your unity with the community in prayer. Please know you are not forgotten, that we miss you terribly and can’t wait till we can all be together once again.
To those manning our Bingo program, the Kenmore Free Store and the Kenmore Community Meal, thank you for your willingness and for complying with our guidelines – we know it is hot under those masks!!
To everyone who has made the effort to get your envelopes to the parish, thank you. Whether you are bringing them to Mass, mailing or dropping them off, we are so very grateful for your diligence and faithfulness. If you are going to an air conditioned parish during the hottest Sundays, please be sure your envelopes make it here to the parish.
We are here for you so if you have any questions, concerns or comments, please let us know!
It’s hopping around here today!
As we look out over the parking lot, we see many things going on today, June 30th. People in masks are lined up outside the Free Store to come in for the first time since March, gardeners are busy tending their Community Garden areas and the Community Meal Team, in masks, are in Waldeisen Hall preparing to serve the community delicious take-out meals and soon people will be arriving for their meals. Things are definitely NOT normal and won’t be for a very long time, but these events today give us hope that someday they will. In the meantime, we’re taking every precaution by wearing masks, social distancing, sanitizing hands and surfaces. We’re in this together!!

May Crowning
Fr. Mike crowned Our Blessed Mother, Mary, on Sunday May 3rd. We hope you enjoy this video and we invite you to honor Mary by praying the Litany of Loreto with Fr. Mike.
