We hope you will choose to come and share in this holy
and musical prelude to the Mass in the Night.
At the December Family Catechesis session, one of the topics covered was the first 3 petitions of the Our Father. In keeping with the theme of prayer, everyone made an ornament for their Christmas trees using their choice of a Catholic prayer to place on their ornaments...such as the Guardian Angel prayer, Hail Mary, Our Father, etc. The session concluded with everyone praying the Our Father together in a big circle.
“We cannot stop speaking of what we have seen and heard.”
~ St. Peter

Parish Closings Due to Weather Morning Mass will be cancelled if South Haven Schools are closed due to hazardous road conditions. If there is a school delay, we will still
have morning Mass. The parish office will open as soon as it is safe enough to drive, or it may even stay closed. If inclement weather develops during the business day, the parish office may close early. Give a call before venturing out, 269-637-2404. If Mass is cancelled, the Mass intention will be moved to the nearest date available unless you contact the office.
