After receiving many requests to change the Saturday evening Mass time from 5:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Father and Parish Council have agreed that we are going to
give it a try!
Beginning Saturday, October 17, and every Saturday thereafter, we will celebrate
Holy Mass at 4:00 p.m.
We hope this change will bring our 4:00 p.m. parishioners back to our church. We also hope that, especially during the winter months, the earlier Mass time will allow those of us who have difficulty seeing in the dark to get home earlier and safely.
We sincerely hope this change will be a positive one and that most of our parish family will be pleased with the new time. As we all know, we cannot please everyone, and there may be some who do not agree with the change. However, we are willing to give it a try and see how it works for our parish.
Again, we hope everyone will be happy with the new Saturday evening Mass time, and we look forward to seeing a packed church on Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings!
Thank you all for your understanding, support, and continued dedication to our parish!
