You are invited to an informational meeting concerning the current status and future of the Parish Organ Project. Documentation will be presented outlining our 3-4 year plan for the Project, including financial information. At the meeting, a questionnaire will be provided for you to ask questions and we will share the answers with the entire congregation. Please take advantage of this opportunity and join us for the meeting in church on March 21 after the 11:00am Mass.
Ash Wednesday Masses are 8:15 am, 12:10 pm, 6:30 pm. Beginning this weekend we have two Lenten Prayer booklets available on the Communion Rail for $2.00 each. "The Little Black Booklet " & Bishop Robert Barron "Lenten Gospel Reflections".
Unfortunately due to the ongoing Coronavirus Outbreak, we will not be having Fish Fries during Lent this year. We looked at ways to do just carryout or a drive thru Fish Fry, but due to safety, logistics, increased cost and the fact the church is only open for Mass right now it just is not possible. My hope is that by fall, things are more under control and we can again open the church for events and have one then. Let us all keep praying that the virus comes under control and please continue to be safe. Mike Gaffney Fish Fry Coordinator
All three Masses on Sunday January 31st are cancelled due to snow storm forecasted. We will have Saturday 4:00 pm Vigil Mass only and that Mass will be on our website and YouTube for you to participate in the Liturgy. Stay safe!
Contribution statements are in the back of church. Anything not picked up will be mailed the week of Feb 14th. Please pick yours up to help us minimize our postage expenses. Thank you.

If you have not yet turned in your donation for the School Sisters of Notre Dame's Mission Appeal, we have received word that you should not make your checks out to the mission group. Rather, please make your checks payable to Blessed Sacrament (and mark MCP in the memo line) and return to us. We will send a combined check to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith (SPOF) Office, which facilitates the appeals and disburses the mission funds. If you have already submitted your check, you will receive a letter from SPOF. A reminder that you can also give online directly, via credit card or electronic check at https://spof-mke.givingfuel.com/ssnd-mcp-2020 Thank you!

Veterans, active, retired and those who have paid the supreme sacrifice, will be honored with a special Mass commemorating their service to our country.
