Announcements
at Mass
Beginning next week, all announcements to be read before the beginning
of Mass each week must be submitted to the parish office by Wednesday,
1PM.
Please
Note
Hospital Visits: Because of a new privacy act, clergy must receive
a call from the person (or their family) to request visitation. This
serves the patient well in regard to their privacy. So, please call
Fr. Piotr(539-5732) and let him know of your need.
Funeral
Arrangements: Parishioners are requested to contact Fr. Piotr first
when making funeral arrangements (time, etc.) rather than making these
arrangements through the funeral home. This allows Fr.Piotr to be with
the family during this difficult time of decision making and can also
cut down on the frustration of waiting for arrangements to be verified
through several parties.
Bulletin
Notices
Please have all bulletin notices into the office by Wednesday morning,
10 AM, in order to have your notice appear in the upcoming weekend bulletin.
Thank-you, Linda.
