Save the Dates! 
Dear parishioners:
On Sunday, October 4^th, we will celebrate our 9:00 a.m. Mass outside on the lower parking lot, between the hall and church!
We hope that some parishioners who are hesitant to come to church because of the Corona Virus will feel more comfortable gathering outside. So, bring a mask, a lawn chair (chairs will also be provided) and find a place where you feel comfortable. You will be able to keep your distance. We will bring Holy Communion to you where you are seated. We will be providing spaces for handicapped parking. There will be more details to come, but “save the date”!  
In case of inclement weather, the makeup date will be on October 11^th!
And . . . On Saturday, October 10^th, at 12 noon, you are invited to gather on the lawn between the church and school building to pray the rosary for our country as our national elections draw near. Bring a rosary, a mask, but do not bring a partisan spirit! We are asking Mary, the patron of our county and of the Americas, to intercede for us. So, no partisan stickers, shirts or hats . . . just a spirit of prayer that God watch over our country!  
Hope to see you at these masked and socially distanced gatherings!
In Christ! Fr. John
