Our parish family weekly news and notes for our Saint Mary community
Twenty Second Sunday in Ordinary Time-August 28, 2016
Dear Friends,
It’s hard to believe that we’re at the final weekend of August. It seems as if
summer just began and now here it is really winding down. For myself, class
began back on the 17th of August so it has seemed over for a little while now.
Of course, just because summer is drawing to a close doesn’t mean there aren’t
hot days ahead for us!
So next week we will celebrate Labor Day and begin the official “school” year
in the parishes. With that, Fr. Sam and I will have an official schedule now for
daily Masses at both parishes. St. Pius will continue to have 7am Mass with
the possibility of a communion service once a week and St. Mary’s will
continue at Noon. Both of us will alternate the schedule daily with some
exceptions to the schedule. Twice a month St. Pius X School has mass with
their community at 8:15. On those two Tuesday’s there will be NO 7am Mass
but will rather shift to 8:15. At St. Mary’s it has also been the custom that
when there is a funeral in the morning there is NO Noon Mass. That too will
continue. The plan is to have one Mass a day at each place, of course with the
exception when one of us is on vacation or are off or when we have Holy Day
Masses. When we get closer to the winter season we’ll talk about the snow
schedule for daily Masses.
I think it’s important to keep in mind that daily Mass is a privilege and not a
necessity. It is a daily devotional and so at times the schedule needs to be
flexible. Of course, in some situations we don’t always know what’s going to
happen and so we all need to be flexible with the schedules. There is, of
course, no way to predict emergencies or death! Hopefully after a few months
we’ll get into a regular routine when it comes to the daily Mass schedule.
All that being said, for now the Sunday schedule will remain. That does not
mean that it won’t change down the road. I needed a little break from
meetings this summer so will not convene my group consisting of parishioners
from both parishes until September. That discussion will begin at that time.
Variables change over time and the only way it works is if we can be as pro-
active as possible. This idea of a pastorate in this way is new so it will take
some getting used to for everyone.
Once I have a chance to begin meeting with that group I will certainly keep
you posted and hopefully in the Fall plan another opportunity for both parishes
to come together for fellowship and discussion.
Peace,
Father Marty
