Dear Parishioners                                                                                                  May 13, 2020

Good News!

You, the faithful, will once again be allowed to gather inside Church

beginning with Sunday Mass this coming Sunday, May 17th

to celebrate the Sixth Sunday of Easter!

There will be no public Mass this Saturday, May 16^th.

There will be no public Mass at St. John’s on Sunday.

Our first public Masses at Holy Spirit Church will be:

Sunday May 17^th

8:45 AM,

11:00 AM

1:00 PM (Hispanic)  

Our one desire is that we preserve the health of all our Parishioners

who take the opportunity to gather in Church to celebrate the love of God.

The Mass will still be available through our Web Page

via either You-Tube or Facebook.

You will be able to view:

a Private Mass live-streamed at 5:00 PM Saturday, May 16^th,

or a recorded Mass at any time on Sunday

for those who choose not to attend the Sunday Mass in person.

Please know that Bishop Baker has dispensed all the faithful

from the obligation of attending Sunday Mass in person 

through Sunday, June 28^th.

This means that there is no sin for not attending Mass in person,

but the expectation is that you will view the Mass

through one of the many media outlets

either live-streamed or recorded.

I look forward to seeing you in Church as we carefully progress toward

the “the closeness” we’re all yearning to share!

Love, Father Deering
