Dear Friends,
New Information:
Faith Direct and Collection Envelopes As a result of the Coronavirus, many of our parishioners have moved to online giving through Faith Direct. This has been tremendously helpful for us and I thank you for considering it. As a result of this some have asked if we would take them off the envelope distribution list. We only do that if you request us to do so. It does not happen automatically. If you would like to discontinue your envelopes, please contact Barbara Smith in the parish office (812) 246-2512 or at bsmith@stjohnpaulparish.org.
Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 1. Don’t forget to “fall back” that night. This also means that on Saturday, November 7, our Saturday anticipation Mass will be at 4:00 p.m. until Daylight Saving Time begins again in the spring.
I’ll Be Glad When All this is behind Us In fact; I want to celebrate with a 7-day Hawaiian Cruise. I have set a cruise date of January 8-15 of 2022. Everyone is invited. There is a flier attached to this email with more information.
Don’t Forget…
Dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass has been extended by the bishops of Indiana. It will remain in effect until further notice. Once again, my friends, if you are sick please stay home. However, if you are going out to restaurants, ball games, and other social events, please consider coming back to Church as well. We miss you!
Eucharistic Adoration is held every week at the St. Joe Hill Chapel beginning on Thursday at 9:00 a.m. and continuing until the noon Mass on Friday. Everyone is invited to stop by St. Joe Hill Chapel during that time and spend time with the Lord.
Be safe,
Fr. Tom
