JOB
MAINTENANCE/COOK POSITIONS—
WORSHIP BRIEFS
Occasionally,
the question arises about proper attire while attending Mass, specifically
during the warmer months of the year.
First, and most important, attending Mass is better than not attending
Mass. Clothing is secondary. However, one should make a reasonable
attempt to dress modestly and in such a way so as not to distract fellow
parishioners. Shorts seem
appropriate enough in this climate; cool tops seem appropriate as well. Tops and bottoms (yes, both are
required!) should be modest and not designed to reveal the wearer in a lewd
way. In other words, undies should
not be visible, nor should navels.
Also, clothing in Church should not be a billboard for distracting
messages, such as: beer brands,
music bands, political positions, suggestive language, etc. In short (ahem),
keep cool! No one needs to sweat it
out at Church. Just give a little
thought to what kind of cool wear is appropriate for Church. Thanks. ~Fr. Peter
CURSILLO – National
Conference—Join with us as we continue the study of the best news –

friendship with God, self and others. Meet Cursillistas from across

REQUESTING MASSES: Please
understand that a Mass intention may not be able to be fulfilled on a
particular date (due to funerals, other Church events, priest is away, etc.). A
nearby date will be found. Masses that are requested throughout the year
more-or-less wait to be offered in the order received. Because more than six Mass
requests are received each week, it is necessary to send many Mass requests to
missions and smaller parishes in the diocese for a more timely offering of the
Mass. Parishioners are welcome to request any number of Masses, understanding
that the Masses intention may have to be offered in another location
