Church Reopening May 30/31 We are happy to announce that Mass will resume on May 30/31, the Feast of Pentecost. The NEW SCHEDULE is: Weekend Masses will be ONLY on Saturdays at 4:30 PM and on Sundays at 9:30 AM through June. We will offer weekday Mass on Wednesdays ONLY, beginning June 3. This will allow us time to assess the situation and make modifications as needed. We will need to wear a mask and maintain social distancing—which may mean that your regular pew is not available. Communion will be offered as usual but there will be some adaptations that will be explained during Mass. We ask that you be aware and follow instructions. Our goal is to provide the safest possible way of celebrating the sacrament. We will not offer the cup for the foreseeable future. Communion services, reconciliation, and communion for the homebound will not resume at this time. The church will be open only on Mass days to allow for proper church cleaning. Archbishop Kurtz issued a dispensation from the obligation, so if you are sick, or live with someone who is vulnerable, or just are not ready to return, please stay home. We will continue to livestream on the weekend and we encourage you to tune in. Please be patient and considerate as we make this transition, and realize that we may need to adjust schedules. We are so glad to have you back! Remember, at the heart of church is you!

Rest in Peace Please keep in your prayers those who have died and their families:

Bryan Hendrick, husband of Sara and father of Sydny and Ryley.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

Bearcats for Baldrick’s The final tally for the event this year comes to an astounding $92,970! Thank you!

School News The school year has concluded, unusual as it was. Please keep our students, faculty, and staff in your prayers. Have a safe and restful summer!

I rejoiced when I heard them say, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.” ~Psalm 122:1
