LIFE LINE SCREENING, a leading provider of community-based preventive health screenings will be in our community on Friday, September 4, 2020 at St. Rose Parish Community Center. Ultrasound screenings to identify risk factors for Cardiovascular disease include: Carotid Artery (plaque buildup – a leading cause of stroke), Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (an enlargement or weak area in the main blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body), Peripheral Arterial Disease (hardening of the arteries in the legs), a Heart Rhythm Screening (an EKG to detect Atrial Fibrillation – irregular heartbeat) and an Osteoporosis Risk Assessment for men and women.

We would also like to thank all the parishioners of the Consortium for their continued support during these trying times. We are truly blessed with the kindness and generosity of everyone.

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
