Archbishop Charles Thompson has announced that parishes may return to the custom of offering the Eucharistic chalice to all the faithful once more, starting on the First Sunday of Advent, that is, the weekend of November 26-27, 2022. This is being done in coordination with all five dioceses of Indiana. We can rejoice in this decision! As the Roman Missal says: "The sacrament of Holy Communion achieves the fullest form of the sign when it takes place under both species." (General Introduction to the Missal no. 281) In his letter, Archbishop Charles points out that the recent pandemic forced us to implement many restrictions to the liturgy: limited music, shortened processions, no holy water, no passing the basket at collection time, no sign of peace, no chalice for the congregation, etc. All of these things were useful and even necessary at a certain time and place, but they were extraordinary restrictions, they were not the norm. And they should not be normalized. The return to communion under both kinds remains the norm and in a few weeks we will take one more important step towards a postpandemic normal. Praise be to God!

       Weekly Announcements for   Nov. 27-Dec. 4, 2022

The church is opened for private prayer on Wednesdays 4:30-6:00.

Each Sunday after the 11:00 am Mass, we will set up a portion of our Christmas decorations. We will meet for 1 hour on the following Sundays: Dec.4th, Dec.11th, and Dec. 18th. Our first hour, Dec. 4th, is dedicated to bringing items from the basement. We ask that all ablebodied individuals plan to assist others with this task. This is a great opportunity to meet other parishioners and make ready our beautiful church for the celebration of the Christ Child’s birth.
