OLDP Update

      Last Sunday was Deacon Roberto Garcia’s Birthday. If you see him, this week, please wish him a Happy Birthday. With all the COVID stuff going on we aren’t able to celebrate the things we used to in the same way but you can still send him a card at the Church Office if you would like.
      Thank you to our Knights for this weekend’s fundraiser for OLDP. Please take advantage, if you are able, of a Spaghetti Dinner after Mass. It’s drive-through so you can take it to go. Not hungry? A donation would be helpful and greatly appreciated.
      There was another broken water pipe in the School Building that will cost an estimated $19,000 for repair, cleanup, etc. We have sent the information to the Archdiocese in hopes that insurance will cover all or most of the cost. If it doesn’t then we will, once again, need your help. Unfortunately, with a facility that is 55 years old (Church) and 53 years old (School) we may see more things like this from time to time.
      Thank you for your generosity in helping us with these issues.
      Please, continue to call the Church Office (466-4511) to reserve your place at Weekend Masses, especially 4:00 p.m. and 11:00 a.m.
      Since we have moved into Phase 3 we can now accommodate about 110 people safely at Mass, now that I have reconfigured the pews, and reset the blue tape. Please, do not move the tape and if you move the pool noodles please, put them back in their original position.
      Reminder: the Missalettes in the Narthex are for you. Please take one and bring it home and then bring it back when you come to Mass to use at Mass. By each person having their own Missalette, we won’t have to worry about trying to sanitize the books or risk anyone passing along infection through contact with the books.

• You must wear a mask to attend Mass. There are a few masks on the table in the Narthex if you forget yours.
• There is a Blue Bin, on the table in the Narthex, for any donations of Masks and Hand Sanitizer Wipes, to keep us from running out. We are down to one container of the wipes needed to wipe down the pew where you sit. Thank you to those who have been donating.
• There is a Green Bin and a Clear Bin, under the Narthex table, for Food Donations for our Outreach Pantry. Please, help us with that.
• The “Support a Priest” program is going well, thanks to some very generous donations, but the “Support Music” program is not. Please, help us with this.

God bless you,
Fr. Mike
