Volunteer Help

Thank you to everyone who has stepped forward to volunteer as a group to help with these tasks. We are still accepting help! The most urgent task will be our Advent wreath. We will need to set that up sometime before the 4pm Mass on Nov. 29.

We will be in need of volunteers for the following areas going forward:
1. Flower arrangements for Christmas, Easter, Solemnities, etc. (order, coordinate, set up, maintain, & dispose)
2. Advent Wreath (set up, maintain, dismantle)
3. Decorating for Christmas & Easter (coordinate, set up, maintain & dismantle)
4. Palm Sunday (make palm arrangements, coordinate & set up for needs of the Palm Sunday Liturgy)

**Please contact the parish office with any questions.

ATTENTION TO OUR USHERS

Beginning the  weekend of November 2,  we will need you to put the collection money in the security bag in the back of church before bringing it to the box in front of church. There will be separate bags for each mass & each mass’s special collection. The bags will be labeled & in the closet for you. Thank you!

Mass Intentions
What are Mass intentions?

When a priest celebrates Mass each day, he offers each Sacrifice of the Mass for a particular person, or intention. By doing so special graces from God are applied upon that person or intention. The act of offering prayers for the dead at Mass goes back to AD 235. Canon Law also confirms this practice and states, “In accord with the approved practice of the Church, any priest celebrating, or concelebrating is permitted to receive an offering to apply the Mass for a specific intention” (Can. 945 §1).

For whom can I request a Mass be offered? Anyone may ask a priest to offer a Mass for several reasons. For example, Masses can be offered in thanksgiving, for the intentions of another person (such as on a birthday), or as is most common, for the repose of the soul of someone who has died.

To schedule a mass intention, please call the Parish office during business hours or leave a voicemail after hours. We will be in need of more mass intentions soon.
