REMINDERS: 1) If you take a missalette to use during Mass, take it home with you. DO NOT return it to the stack. 2) If you take a bulletin before Mass, DO NOT leave it in your pew after Mass, and DO NOT return it to the stack of bulletins. We have more than enough. This will assist our ushers in tidying up after Mass, and will minimize their risk of exposure. 3) Since we are dispensed from our Sunday Mass obligation this summer, please consider assisting at a daily Mass instead. This is a consideration especially in our smaller capacity churches of St. Patrick and Church of the Atonement. 4. DO be considerate of others! May the Gifts of the Holy Spirit be renewed and strengthened in each one of us on this Solemnity of Pentecost! In Christ Jesus, Fr. Hartge

The 2019 BAA has drawn to a close. Thank you for your generosity! Each parish has received their refund. St. Bernard and St. Patrick parishioners have fulfilled 100% of their pledges. St. Rose and Church of the Atonement had only a small amount unfulfilled. I am immensely proud of the response of our parishes to this important fundraiser for the diocese and the good work that this money to the BAA funds. This year’s BAA will kick off in July. You’ll begin receiving information toward the middle and end of June, with parish announcements in July. I know this is a very tough time economically for so many families and individuals. I, and Bishop Brennan, simply ask that you consider your budget and do what you can to support this appeal. Once again, thank you for your overwhelming generosity!
