Second Reading: Philippians 2:1-11 Paul urges the converts at Philippi to be united in spirit and ideals, avoiding rivalry and dissension. He ends with the beautiful hymn extolling the humility and sacrifice of Christ.

Gospel: Matthew 21:28-32 Jesus speaks words of rebuke to the chief priests and the elders because they are not believing the teach-ings of John the Baptist. He warns them that tax collectors and prostitutes, who do believe John, will enter the Kingdom of God before them.

SUNDAY MASS

We are celebrating Sunday Masses at St. Marys with a capacity limit. Temporarily there will NOT be any Masses at St. Matthias.

Reminder---The obligation to attend Sunday Mass is still suspended.

We ask you to use your best judgment (especially members of at-risk populations) about coming to Church. Those who feel sick in any way or who are anxious about coming should not come to Church.

MASKS ARE REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FAITH FORWARD

2021 MASS BOOK The 2021 Mass Book is now open.

In an effort to maintain health and safety for all

involved, there will NOT be a regular in person

opening day as in the past. Masses may be

requested by mail or dropped in the collection box in

the church and will be filled in the order they were

received. Forms can be found on the website or

you may call the rectory if you would to have one

mailed to you. The actual form is not required to

request Masses as long as you send in your full

contact information (name, address, phone

number), your intention with first and second choice

dates/times and your donation of $20 per

Mass. If you feel you need to come in

person to the rectory, please CALL FOR

AN APPOINTMENT.

At the suggestion of the Archdiocese, after consulta-

tion with the chairman of our Parish Council, our

Parish Trustees, and a random sampling of parish-

ioners, it has been decided that we will adjust our

Sunday Mass schedule. As a result of the recent

pandemic, the numbers of people coming to Sunday

Mass have dropped greatly. On the whole, our five

Sunday Masses at St. Marys average a total of 180

people. In particular, attendance at the 8:45 am Sun-

day Mass has been about 15 people.

Therefore, starting with the first Sunday in October

(Oct 4th), our Sunday Mass schedule at St. Marys

will be as follows:

Saturday Vigil 5:15 pm

Sunday 7:30 am, 9:00 am, 11:00 am.

Any Mass intentions originally schedule for the 8:45

am Mass will be transferred to the 9:00 am Mass.

Any intentions originally schedule for the 11:30 am

will be transferred to the 11:00 am Mass.

Mass intentions scheduled for the 10 am Mass will

be transferred to an available Mass at St. Marys. We

will attempt to notify all those with 10 am Mass in-

tentions of the new date and time. Please call Jane at

the rectory if you have not already received infor-

mation about the rescheduled Mass.

ARE YOU REGISTERED?

From time to time people come to the Rectory

because they have the honor of being asked to be a

Godparent for a Baptism or a Sponsor for a

Confirmation and they need a document from us.

This document states that they are members in good

standing of this parish. The only way we can comply

with this request is if the individual is indeed, a

registered member of the parish who worships here

on a regular basis. Please note that although you

may have registered with the Religious Education

Office or you may have made all your sacraments

here at St. Marys, this does not automatically

mean that you are registered with the Parish!

If you would like to become a fully registered mem-

ber or check to see if you are registered, please stop

by or call the Rectory. If you are new to the parish,

Fr. Duff would like to greet you personally!
