Next Sunday, Father Tom will celebrate his 40th anniversary of his Ordination. While we had hoped to celebrate as a parish with a special mass followed by a reception, that is not possible. To help Father Tom celebrate this special occasion, parishioners are invited to send a card and/or email. Information on where to send cards and emails is available here: https://www.stcatharinechurch.org/news/father-toms-40th-anniversary-of-his-ordination
Additionally, there are changes to the schedule for livestream for next weekend. The 5:30pm mass will not be livestreamed next Saturday, May 30. However, to celebrate his anniversary, Father Tom will preside at mass at 10am on Sunday May 31 and that mass will be livestreamed. All are invited to watch that mass and help Father Tom celebrate, even if virtually.
Because of mass being livestreamed on Sunday morning, the church will NOT be open for prayer on Sunday, May 31. Church WILL be open on Saturday, May 30 from 3-5 pm for both silent prayer and reconciliation.
The livestreaming of the 5:30pm mass on Saturdays will resume the following weekend on June 6 and church will be open on Sunday mornings resuming on June 7.
