Dear Friends,

We live in a world where many people need to work long hours to help their businesses be successful, others to afford to raise a family, and others because their profession demands many hours. Some may find themselves unable to attend Mass and receive holy Communion. Sunday Mass is the ideal place to gather with the larger community. A habit can form when one does not come to Mass or Communion often because of work or maybe being a caregiver or for some other serious reason. 

How about considering attending a weekday Mass? Receiving Communion and thanking God can be done at a weekday Mass. Rather than just saying one cannot go to Mass, it is for one’s greater good to consider this way of worshiping. We have weekday Masses in our Daily Mass Chapel Monday through Friday at 8:00 am. Weekday Mass is a half hour, and is a more simplified Mass for the weekday while the Sunday Mass is the most beautiful of the entire week. Thanks to Fr. Bob Voss, a retired priest in our Diocese, he will be presiding at two weekday evening Masses on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:30 pm. For those who would like to come to Mass but mornings do not work out, we now can offer a couple of weekday evening Masses. 

The Mass is offered 364 days a year. It is God’s invitation to be nourished and fed at his table. I invite parishioners to consider making time to come to one of these Masses when our weekend Masses are not working out to attend. The greater good is coming to Mass, even if the weekend does not work. As scriptures remind us, taste and see the goodness of the Lord. 


Peace in Christ,

Fr. Eric
