Saint Mary's Parish

Our Masses have resumed!

We are pleased to welcome you back to Church.

Welcome

If you are alienated or upset, we welcome you lovingly.

If you are in need of forgiveness, Jesus forgives you completely--with unconditional love.

If you have been hurt by the Church, we are truly sorry.

If you are angry, Jesus offers you peace.

If life has become burdensome, we are here to support you.

We are happy you are here and want you to stay.

May God bless you. Your friend and Pastor,

Father C.J.

Spiritual Communion Prayer

My Jesus, I believe that You are truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament.

I love You above all things and I desire to possess You within my soul.

Since I unable at this moment to receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as being already there, and unite myself wholly to You.

Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.

Diocesan COVID-19 Directives

Diocesan Directives from the Bishop's Office regarding Mass attendance- effective May 2020

Even with the resumption of public liturgies, those who are most vulnerable should not attend Mass in-person; rather they should continue to watch our televised Mass the "Chalice of Salvation" or their parish's streaming or cablecast Masses.

The dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains even after churches reopen out of an abundance of caution and concern for the most vulnerable who are most susceptible to contract this virus.

Please visit the Diocesan website for current information regarding COVID-19. http://diospringfield.org/directives-for-confronting-the-coronavirus/

Please continue to follow all health protocols to stay safe.
