A Message from Your Pastor
February 28, 2021
Dear Parishioners,
Once again, I must unhappily report that someone is sending texts and emails in my name asking for gift cards and money. This is not me! Please warn your family and friends of this scam. No priest would do that.
Since we published our Lenten Schedule, there is an addition. Bishop Zubik has approved the "Light is on for You" opportunity for confessions with flexibility for each parish to adapt as necessary rather than just 6:00-9:00 p.m.
So, here is what we are doing on Wednesday, March 10.
St. Felix: 8:00-10:00 am
Holy Family: 2:00-4:30 pm
St. Cecilia: 6:00-6:45 pm (after Mass if necessary)
Saints Peter and Paul: 6:00-9:00 pm
The Lenten information has been published in the bulletin and will be coming in the mail with a little about Parish Share. Rather than pledge cards, there will be an envelope in your monthly packet for your use.
I'm thinking about the Lenten schedule for all the folks who are understandably concerned about being around a lot of people in church. Please remember that at the daily Masses (morning and evening) there are not a lot of people there.
The same could be said for Eucharistic Adoration
Sundays: Saints Peter and Paul - 4:00-5:00 pm
Mondays: St. Felix - 9:00 am to 12 noon
Fridays: St. Cecilia - 12 noon to 6:00 pm
and when several of our churches can be left open:
Saints Peter and Paul - 7:00 am - 7:00 pm - daily
St. Cecilia - 9:00 am - 3:00 pm - Monday thru Friday
I pray that the story of Jesus's transfiguration in the Gospel today will give you hope in how powerfully he can change and form each of us.
Fr. Bob
