Again this year, we continue our tradition of offering Mother’s Day Novena Masses from Sunday, May14th thru 8:15am on Saturday, May 20th devoted to deceased mothers. Beginning today, envelopes will be available at the church doors on which you can list the names of deceased mother and grandmothers or you may include the names inside the envelope. For the usual $10.00 stipend for just one Mass, those you name will be remembered at the Masses beginning on Mother’s and continuing thru May 20th. The names will not be read a every Mass, but will be listed in the bulletin following Mother’s Day; this is similar to the way those remembered in our All Souls Masses throughout the year. The envelopes and names, can be turned in the regular collection or directly to the rectory office, no later than Mother’s Day weekend. The hope is that this Novena provides an added opportunity to remember those who brought us into this world and nurtured the faith this is passed on from generation to the next. We’ll offer the same opportunity again in June for Father’s Day and the weekday Masses that follow it.
