As regards to Mass attendance, the numbers continue to be stable, however, they remain low and since the Faithful are still not under the obligation to assist at Holy Mass, it seems reasonable to combine the 7 a.m. & 9 a.m. Sunday Masses & split the difference by having an 8 a.m. Mass. *This new 8 a.m. Sunday Mass will take effect on the 2nd of August, and will remain in effect thru the pandemic’s end.* Please click on the above title link to read more.

Please pray for the repose of the souls of Virginia and Mother Amabilis, SSCJ. May flights of angels wing them to Paradise, and may their souls and the souls of all the Faithful departed, through the Mercy of God, Rest in Peace...Amen.

When entering Church, remember to take a Missalette to use during Mass (they are located along the sides of the Church), then take it home with you. This will be your copy to bring back to Mass each week. When the date has expired, simply bring your book back to Church, put it in the boxes (located in the entrances of Church) so they can be disposed of properly. The new books will be available the week of August 15/16. We will use this procedure until the danger of the pandemic has passed. --- Also, if you know someone who can’t make it to Mass, please take them a Missalette, so they will be able to follow along with the Mass on TV. Thanks!

Forms are located at all the entrances in Church and on our Parish Website: https://queenofpeacepatton.org --- Please take a few moments to fill out the form in its entirety.
