* The parish has purchased two machines that will allow us to “fog” disinfectant throughout the church to more easily and completely sanitize after each Mass. Once the “fog” is dispensed, it requires about 30 minutes to dry completely. We ask that you to enter the church no earlier than 30 minutes prior to Mass. Thank you for your help to keep our community safe.
* Please be sure to pick up you envelope with your raffle tickets and red envelope at the entrance to the church. Since the diocese is not allowing normal social gatherings, we will have a limited version of our bazaar that will allow parishioners to participate even though we cannot attend in person. This year we have printed fewer raffle tickets. Each family will receive 10 raffle tickets to sell or buy. The tickets will sell for $10 each, for a total of $100.00. There will be an early bird drawing for all who turn in their raffle tickets and money in by September 15th. Three lucky “early birds” will each receive $50.00.
* Tickets are in alphabetical order, A—F are on the back pew on the sacristy side of the church. G—L are on the last pew on the cry room side. M - Z are on the tables in the lobby.
* More information about our 2020 Bazar will be presented at our bazaar kick off later this summer.
* Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will be held Monday—Thursday right after the 8:00 am Mass. All are welcome to pray with us.
* Your continued financial support of our parish is most appreciated. You can make your contribution online or drop off at the parish office. There are locked boxes in the front lobby of the church and the 4th Street entrance to the church can be used to drop contributions, raffle tickets and red envelopes.

Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston Prayer in the Time of the Coronavirus
Comfort us, O Lord, for we are like your disciples on the storm tossed seas,
unsettled by what lies ahead.
We turn to You, our Healer and Guide,
to still our hearts in our time of need and hear our prayer:
Heal those who are sick with the coronavirus and protect the elderly and most vulnerable.
Give strength to all who tend to our health and wisdom to researchers who work toward a cure.
Open our eyes and hearts, as you did during Hurricane Harvey, that we may look beyond our immediate needs to care for others who need help.
Through the Holy Spirit, guide our leaders to make wise decisions for the welfare of all the people they serve.
Grant eternal rest to those who have died from the virus.
May Mary, Our Mother, who has heard our pleas in the storms of our lives,
intercede to her Son, that we may find healing and a prompt end to this illness.
Mary, Star of the Sea, pray for us.
Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior, heal us.
Hello Friends,
As our nation and the world faces the crisis surrounding COVID-19, many dioceses and parishes have taken the extraordinary measure to cancel the celebration of public Masses and in some cases dispense the faithful from their Sunday obligation. This has been done as state and local governments have begun to limit large gatherings of people in order to limit the spread of the virus and ultimately keep us safe.
During this time, especially during the Lenten season, we wanted to remind you that EWTN broadcasts the daily Mass live at 8am Eastern from Our Lady of the Angels Chapel on the EWTN campus in Irondale, Alabama. You can watch live on TV or online via streaming at ewtn.com/tv/watch-live.
You can also listen to the Mass live on the radio, SIRIUS/XM, or listen online at ewtn.com/radio/listen-live.
If you missed the live stream, you can get today's daily readings and homily at this link.
Click here to find EWTN on your local cable/satellite provider or click here to find our radio schedule.
We encourage you to check your parish and diocese for the status of your local Mass, and ask that you would pray for healing and comfort for all those who are directly impacted by the virus.
God bless you,
Your EWTN Family
