OUTDOOR MASS REMINDERS - Seating will be inthe front of the Church and allow for social distancing.Since it may be sunny outdoors, please bring a hat ifnecessary. Also, remember that face masks must beworn. Since there is no congregational singing, the lengthof the Mass will be shorter than normal, which allows fora shorter amount of time in the warm weather.

Thank you so very much and remember, We are all in this together~!
A NOTE FROM PAM ABOUT BEANS & BREAD LUNCHES
Love and Kindness are Never Wasted...They always make a difference.
They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.
I received a lovely note last weekwhich read in part, " I have beenmaking donations to variousorganizations which I will continue todo...but to be able to physically shopand prepare meals and help feed thosein need of meals brings me so muchmore joy."
That note, along with conversations I've hadwith many who are donating of how helping others haseffected them at this moment in time, as well as theirjoy, enthusiasm week after week epitomizes the quoteabove, 'love and kindness... make a difference, theybless the one who receive them, and they bless you, thegiver."
St. Casimir, St.Elizabeth, our school andsurrounding communityprovided 942 baggedlunches today~! The noteswhich folks are including
on the outside of the bags have touched the lives ofthose who are receiving them. Ms. Barb told us thosewho are being served have asked if they could have ablessing bag, when she asked what that was one guestsaid, it was a lunch bag with a note ~ a blessing bag (!) She also conveyed how folks are enjoying thesandwiches and a few asked if they could make specialrequests~!
I am attaching a sampling of notes on today'sblessing bags~!
Thank YOU to each of you for your support, joy,love and kindness.
