The Holy Spirit and the Life of Grace
Here is the Holy Spirit Word Cloud compiled from the words and phrases you sent in after watching the video The Holy Spirit and the Life of Grace. These words describe the symbols, titles, and characteristics of the Holy Spirit that have special meaning to you. (The very tiny words are simply repeats of the larger ones so you won’t miss an idea if the font is too small.) Thank you to all who contributed!

4. You are Invited, You are Welcome, You’ll be Safe!
Please join us in person at Mass. We’re so happy to welcome you back! We’re being diligent about keeping you safe by following our Covid-19 protocols which include:
Things the church is doing:- Running our six (6) medical-grade air purifying units in the church before and during mass thus removing bacteria and viruses, including the Covid virus, from the air.
- Cleaning and sanitizing the church after Masses.
- Providing hand sanitizer throughout the church for your use, as needed
- Taking your temperature as you come into the church. (Please do NOT come to mass if you are feeling ill or running a temperature.)
- Bringing Holy Communion to your pew (Fr. Patrick, a Deacon or an EME comes to you).
Things we ask you to do:- Registering yourself for mass (by noon on Saturdays) and including your phone number so that we can call you should someone report a positive test for the Covid virus.
- Wearing a mask at all times over your nose and under your chin (everyone two and older).
- Maintaining a 6-foot physical distance between you/members of your household, and others not in your household, both in the pews and in other seating areas, before and after mass.
5. Fr. Patrick’s Guidance on Going to Confession
In Fr. Patrick’s homilies he has encouraged us to consider going to Confession here in this Lenten season. During an 11:00 Mass he went so far as to demonstrate the confession process by acting out going to confession with our visiting priest, Fr. Joe. Fr. Patrick then offered us a handout that had the seven steps for confession and, also, some guidance on the “Examination of Conscience in the Light of Catholic Social Teaching.” Click on the following button to go to the handout with these two articles.
