SUNDAY SUMMER MASS SCHEDULE
8:30 & 11:00 am Sunday Masses return Memorial Day weekend (May 28) through Labor Day weekend
(Sept. 3).
“THE BLOOD OF CHRIST, AMEN.”
June 10/11 is the “Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ”. Bishop Sweeney has announced this to be the return of the sharing of the “Blood of Christ” from the “ministers of the Cup.” After each recipient the minister, using the open purification, will carefully wipe the rim of the Cup and turn it for the next recipient. (The procession pattern will change: the 2 cup ministers will stand on the beginning of the 2 side aisles which will now be “one way” – returning to your seats. The 2 farthest side aisles and the Middle aisle will be used to approach the ministers of the “Body of Christ.”)
Special Note: Face masks will become ”optional” for all Communion ministers beginning that weekend.
