Our parish will begin celebrating the Sacrament of First Eucharist this Saturday, July 11
th
at the 5:00 Mass. Our children have been waiting patiently for the time when they would be joining us at the Lord’s Table. It is now time for us to begin sharing this blessed event with our families. Please welcome them. They will be wearing special First Communion masks made with love by our own Lenore Kinman.
Please take a moment to review again our
guidelines for coming to mass
. I especially ask you to remember that the restrooms are closed except for emergencies. Please do not come to church expecting to be able to use the bathrooms.
The Baptism Class for the month of July will be on Sunday, July 19 at approximately 10:30 am. Please meet outside the Library in the Gathering Space. To RSVP for the class, please call the Parish Office.
Below is an appeal from the Catholic bishops of Missouri:
MO Catholic bishops support Medicaid Expansion on August 4
th
Ballot
Expanding access to Medicaid will help many low-income, working Missourians get access to healthcare coverage through the Medicaid program. It will also help Catholic hospitals improve their operating margins by reducing uncompensated care. The Missouri bishops are supporting this effort. Will you join them? For more information on Medicaid, and to listen to a podcast about the Medicaid expansion ballot proposal (Amendment 2), please visit the Missouri Catholic Conference website at
