God bless,
From The Pastor’s Desk:
This weekend we celebrate the last Sunday in Ordinary Time and the feast of Christ the King.
This annual celebration asks us to reflect on our priorities and our moral compass: does Christ reign in our hearts, minds, and lives?
Do the teachings and actions of Jesus teach us how to love and live our lives?
If there are other influencers, we are called this week to reprioritize and invite Jesus – and Him alone - to reign.
Many of you ask me for updates on Fr. Hugh’s health. On Thanksgiving Day,
he will be flying to South Bend to meet with doctors and potentially have surgery on his back.
It is hard to know how long he will be in South Bend, but our medical facility there is excellent and he will be in expert hands.
Fr. Hugh’s absence will affect our Mass schedule.
We have a visiting priest able to help the weekend of November 26-27,
so beginning the weekend of December 3-4,
our weekend schedule for Sacred Heart Saint Francis de Sales will be Saturday 4:00 pm and Sunday 8:00 am,
and for Saint John the Baptist Saturday 5:30pm and Sunday 10:00 am.
Weekday Mass schedule will be 9:00 am for both parishes.
Please note the changes in both our Sunday and weekday scheduled Masses.
It is impossible now to know how long we will need to schedule masses like this,
but I am planning to have the weekend schedule changed throughout the season of Advent.
I am hopeful to have Fr. Hugh back by Christmas or find another priest to help us offer our “normal” schedule of masses.
As I know more, I will communicate with you through flock notes, the bulletin, and announcements at Mass.
God bless,
Fr. Kevin
