As Catholic Christians, worship at Mass on Sundays is the most basic and important foundation of our spiritual lives. Nonetheless, no one is being encouraged to resume physical presence at Mass if it does not seem prudent. Wear your mask. Masks are required while entering and leaving the church. We have a limited supply of masks for those who need one, but please bring your own if possible. Sit in marked pews. Individuals or households need to continue to be at least six feet apart. Please also keep a safe distance in line for Communion. We can't take up a collection. But the wooden drop safe will be in the aisle for donations before or after the Mass. Communion Service Saturday at 5pm, Sunday at 9am, 11am
We are a Sacramental People – God comes to us in real and sacred ways. We’ve been without the sacraments, especially the sacraments of Frequent Reception, the Sacraments that keep us going spiritually: Confession of the Sins, and the Holy Eucharist. A few weeks ago we were able to begin offering Confession in an outdoor confessional. Now we are excited to begin Brief Holy Communion services and eventually perhaps even Holy Mass also in the relative safer outdoor environment.
The brief Holy Communion services will typically be offered on the hour following the live-streamed Masses. So, after the 4pm Mass on Saturday, the Holy Communion service will begin at 5pm. On Sunday, Masses are lived streamed at 8am, 10am, and Noon, so Communion Services will be offered at 9am, and 11am. Of course, weather is a factor and we will announce if there is a change at the Mass and on the website. The Communion service will happen in blacktop parking lot directly in front of St. Patrick Church. Enter on the South end of the Lot, across from the Library. Look for the Vatican Flags that mark the entrance. Once in the lot, drive forward in one of the nine lanes marked in blue paint. Drive all the way up following the arrows until you reach the yellow and white lines before the fence. Larger or taller vehicles, please park on Marquette street or in a side lane. We might not always have a good view. But that is okay. Please come early, to allow time to get parked and ready for prayer. Tune your radio to our FM frequency to hear the service: 105.1 FM. When it is time for Communion the priests will come to your car. They will have liquid sanitizer to regularly purify their fingers. Please offer your “Amen” quietly to avoid speaking over the ciborium of hosts that are being taken to other cars. After everyone has received Communion, there will be a final prayer and blessing. Cars will leave the lot in an orderly way through the North exit, beginning with the column to the East. Please allow the lane to your right to completely empty before moving towards the exit. Let’s not be in a hurry, this is a time to be with the Lord we have just received. Bishop Jenky on Fatima and SheenLIVE Mass on Facebook

Father, As your Son was raised on the cross, His mother Mary stood by Him, sharing His sufferings. May your Church be united with Christ in His suffering and so come to share in His rising to new life. God of mercy, listen to the prayers of your servants who honor your handmaid Mary as mother and queen. Grant that by your grace, we may serve you and our neighbor on earth and be welcomed into your eternal kingdom. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. cf. USCCB, Our Lady, Crowned, with the names of our parishioners. Help of Christians, Pray for Us! Outdoor ConfessionsWe're now able to offer outdoor Confessions. We try to follow our normal schedule, with adjustments made for weather. Please look for announcements on the website, FaceBook, and in your email box.
Demand a COVID-19 Vaccine Free from AbortionThere is absolutely no reason why a vaccine for COVID-19 should be connected to abortion. But that is exactly what may happen in the coming months. Among the dozens of vaccines currently in development, some are unnecessarily being produced using old cell lines that were created from the cells of aborted babies.
This is an unneeded exploitation the bodies of aborted children. Other cell lines or processes that do not involve cells from abortions are certainly available and are regularly used for producing vaccines including those for the COVID-19 virus. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) along with leaders of many healthcare, bioethics, and pro-life organizations, is urging the Trump Administration to make sure that vaccines for COVID-19 are developed ethically and are free from any connection to the exploitation of abortion.

Trinity Catholic Academy Introduces Transfer Grants

The TCA Education Commission working with the Diocesan Office of Catholic Schools is announcing a 50% transfer grant for new qualifying students when they transfer to our school for the first year and a 25% grant the year after. The Illinois Valley Loves Life!
Due to the icy weather, the Illinois Valley contingent of the 2020 Chicago March for Life did not make it to the event, but bus trip organizer Andy Wujek from the Mendota Knights of Columbus worked with Fr. Tom Otto to provide a beautiful impromptu prayer service and Mass last Saturday morning at St. Hyacinth Church in LaSalle for those in the area who could make it. It was so wonderful to be together for LIFE! See you next year on the bus!
