The homilies at all Masses will be brief reflections followed by a period of extended silence. This will provide an opportunity for personal meditation as we prepare for the Lord’s coming.
A CHANGE IN MISSALETTES Next weekend, the two books currently used at Mass will be replaced by only one book. This way, we will only change out the books annually instead of quarterly, the cost is reduced, and you will only have one book to handle at Mass. Hopefully this won’t be an inconvenience.
