We are trying to improve communication regarding upcoming events in our Parish, so we are implementing a new procedure regarding announcements. Starting July 7th, the Reader will begin reading most announcements before Mass as part of the welcome, with some special announcements to be read by the priest or invited person after mass. In an effort to keep Father Pontian and Father Emmanuel informed of announcements to be made, they request that you email all announcements or requests to give an announcement to [email protected] rather than asking them the day of, prior to mass. Emails should be received by the Thursday preceding the Sunday it is to be read. (Example: An announcement read on Sunday July 7th would need to be received by Thursday, July 4th.) PLEASE DO NOT CALL THEM REGARDING ANNOUNCEMENTS.
