FROM FATHER MICHAEL:
       Immaculate Conception Mass Time:  The solemnity of The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, December 8 ^th, falls on a Sunday this year.  Sunday Mass takes precedence.  As a result, the feast has been moved to Monday.  As we know, feasts that fall on Saturday or Monday lose their precept to attend Mass. (Are you following me?)  So, the feast day Mass will be celebrated at Blessed Sacrament Church as a weekday Mass on Monday, December 9 ^that 12 noon. There is no obligation to attend. The readings and prayers will be for the feast day: Lectionary: 689.
 
Healing Mass  at Blessed Sacrament  this Friday , December 6^that 6 p.m.:
     This is a special celebration petitioning our Lord for physical, emotional, and spiritual healing for all those in attendance.  During Mass, all those who wish to receive the sacrament of the sick may come forward to be prayed over and anointed.  Non-Catholics in attendance may also come forward at that time to be prayed over and receive a special blessing.     At the conclusion of Mass there will be a time of adoration of the Blessed Sacrament concluding with Benediction at 7:30 pm.
 
ST. JOSEPH MISSALS FOR 2020 are available on the narthex table.  Suggested offering is $3.00.
 
2020 CALENDARS are also available on the narthex table with a suggested offering of $2.00.
