“May theskdjhfh of hope fill you with all joy and peace in your faith, so that in the power of the Holy Spirit you may be rich in hope.” – Romans 15:13
We had a handful of people come to Mass this weekend to have a test run with the new but temporary directions from the Archbishop on how to have Mass during Phase 1 of the re-opening. Things went very well so we are ready to go to the 25% capacity that the governor has allowed us to have for the time being. So I will be having 4 Masses this weekend, 4:30pm on Saturday and 9, 10 and 11am on Sunday. All you have to do to sign up for any one of those Masses is to call the office at 247-1094 or to go to lobocatholic.org and follow the directions. It will truly be a blessing to be able to see you all again. Now remember a few more things. First, for those of you who still can't make it to Sunday Mass for whatever reason, that's still ok, as you are still under the dispensation from the Archbishop. Second, we are now having daily Mass at 7:00am Monday through Friday, and at 8:30am on Saturday, and those Masses you don't have to sign up for. And of course I'm having confessions at 7:30am, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and at 4:00pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well as our usual time of 3:00pm on Saturday. And finally, we are still recording the daily Masses and live streaming our 9:00am Sunday Mass for those who have to stay home for the time being. So we will keep praying for one another, for our safety and for our consolation, for God's direction, but we can now let our joy be full as Mass is now available on a more regular basis. See you all again soon.
