DIOCESAN ANNUAL APPEAL
THANK YOU TO THOSE
WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED
Dear Friends in Christ,
Before anything else, thank you for your continued prayers as I recover from
COVID-19. It’s been a process of recovery. I still am dealing with lingering
effects: coughing and congestion and a lack of taste and smell. Regardless of
what your opinion about this virus is, it has not been any fun and I urge you
to take all necessary precautions to avoid becoming infected. Out of charity
and prudence, we must protect especially the most vulnerable from coming
down with COVID-19. Please keep me in your prayers as I continue to
recover and get back to 100%.
For centuries, the Church has remembered those who have fallen asleep in
Christ during the month of November. Praying for the faithful departed and
visiting cemeteries is encouraged and common in November, especially on
November 2nd, All Souls Day. The Church offers indulgences applicable to
the souls in purgatory for visiting a cemetery, visiting a church on All Souls
Day, as well as by praying the prayer Requiem aeternam: Eternal rest grant
unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in
peace. Amen.
Normally the plenary indulgence offered for the souls in purgatory by
visiting a cemetery is from November 1st through the 8th only. Furthermore,
the plenary indulgence by visiting a church on All Souls Day is only on
November 2nd. However, because of the ongoing pandemic, the Church has
extended these indulgence to all the days of the month of November.
Therefore, to obtain a plenary indulgency for the souls in purgatory this year
by visiting a cemetery or by visiting a church, you must (1) perform the
work required, that is, visit a cemetery and pray for the faithfully departed or
visit a church and recite the Our Father and the Creed there and; (2) make a
sacramental confession within 20 days; (3) receive Eucharistic communion
several days before or after for each indulgence; (4) say prayers for the Holy
Father (usually an Our Father and Hail Mary); and (5) have detachment from
all sin and be in the state of grace (at least by the end of the prescribed
work). Note that only one plenary indulgence can be received per day and
that if any of the conditions are not fulfilled, the indulgence is partial.
The elderly, the sick, and all those who for serious reasons cannot leave their
homes will be able to obtain the plenary indulgence as long as they join
spiritually with all the other faithful, completely detached from sin and with
the intention of complying as soon as possible with the three usual
conditions (sacramental confession, Eucharistic communion and prayer
according to the Holy Father’s intentions), before an image of Jesus or the
Blessed Virgin Mary, recite pious prayers for the deceased, for example, the
Rosary, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, other prayers for the deceased dearest
to the faithful, or occupy themselves in considered reading of one of the
Gospel passages proposed by the liturgy of the deceased (e.g., Matthew 5:1–
12), or perform a work of mercy by offering to God the sorrows and
hardships of their own lives.
During this month of November, we especially remember the Poor Souls in
Purgatory. In a special way, we remember our deceased family members,
friends, relatives, and benefactors. Death cannot break the bonds of the Body
of Christ. In our prayers, rosaries, and remembrances, let us always pray for
those who have gone before us: may they rest in peace!
In Christ,

FACE MASK NOTICE Governor Tony Evers has issued an emergency
order which includes a statewide mask mandate. All individuals over the age of 5 are required to wear a mask in all enclosed spaces
except their personal residence Bishop William Callahan calls on the Catholic faithful to comply with these regulations, given our reverence for life and human dignity. Face masks/coverings
must be worn by all individuals, 5 years or older, present within all churches, businesses, and office spaces, or attending any function associated with the ministry of the Diocese
of La Crosse. Face coverings are required even if you are able to maintain proper social
distancing. They must be worn to cover the nose and mouth completely and should not include face shields, mesh masks or masks
with holes, openings or vents
Saturday Mass Intentions: Beginning January 9, 2021, the Sacred
Heart Saturday Mass intention will be a “collective intention.” This
means that there is no limit to the number of Mass intentions for the
Mass. Anyone can add to the collective intention. The $10 stipend
is still requested (the priest only receives one, however). Everyone
who submits an intention must be informed that the Mass will have
a collective intention. Since open Mass intentions are few, this is a
good way to have a Mass said for your loved ones. Please contact
the Sacred Heart Parish office to add an intention or if you have
questions.

software. Candidates should be able to provide attention to
