Dear Parishioners,

I am glad to see the growing numbers of parishioners coming back to church.   For whatever the reasons are, it is WONDERFUL to see the crowd growing in numbers! Welcome Home!

We are still LIVESTREAMING as well and I am encouraged at those large numbers which reveal the ONLINE computer / iPhone / iPad presence of our IHM community. It has been said, over and over again; “My have things changed!”

A word to the wise: When attending Mass in-person, there is still required a face mask to be worn.  A good fitting face mask covers both the nose and mouth.  The safest way to remove your mask after saying AMEN when receiving communion in the hand is by the ear lopes, not by the nose of the mask.

This note may seem “silly” but, it is for the best health of others.  Thank you for allowing me to gently remind you of these things.

Many blessings,
Father Jim
