Return of Summer Neighborhood Home Masses
We all know that “The Church” is not just the brick and mortar building but rather the people who make a community of Catholics. One enjoyable way that I have found to recognize and celebrate this is to have home Masses in the neighborhoods of our parish. The summer and early fall months are a great time for this. Family, friends and neighbors can gather at a parishioner’s home for socializing and for Mass.
I would like your help in scheduling a number of these neighborhood Home Masses from June through September.
- Wednesday evenings at 7pm
- Hosts
- Simple hospitality – lemonade and cookies
- Cool, shaded backyard
- People can bring their own chairs and blankets.
- Kids welcomed and encouraged
- In case of rain, can you take 15 to 20 people inside?
- Fr Pat brings everything needed for Mass; wine, hosts, cups, missal, etc.
- We would have to print your address and phone number in the bulletin so that people can contact you to get directions and to help you know how many people to expect.
Would you like to be a host? I would particularly like it if we had some new hosts. It would bless your home. And you would be a blessing to all who would attend.
Please call the church office with any questions or to offer to host a Mass.
Thank you for your interest and attention. Fr Pat
