DMF 2020

Posted onAuthorMary Meissner

 

 

 

 

I’m launching our annual Diocesan Ministry Fund (DMF) appeal two weeks early because I’ll be gone two weekends in February and don’t want to burden Fr. Larry Solan (my substitute) with raising pledges. February 29 (it’s a leap year) is still the official end of our pledge efforts.

First, thanks for everyone who pledges something extra, above and beyond their Christ the King  contribution, to DMF. Your sacrifices are the reason we reach our goal. Please continue!

Second, I appeal to everyone else to at least pledge 25% of your Christ the King contribution to DMF on your envelopes. You will be the reason we get a DMF refund!

And please, if you contribute by check or in cash every week please pledge online at http://www.diocesanministryfund.org

Thanks everybody!

– Fr. John O.

The above letter from Bishop Berg and a prayer card is available in the Narthex.

Cold and Flu season

Posted onAuthorMary Meissner

Cold and Flu season have arrived. Some reminders: (1) if you are not feeling well, you are excused from your obligation to attend a Weekend Mass. We welcome your return to the Table of the Lord when you are well. (2) If you are here and have a cough or other cold or flu symptoms, please do not drink from the cup at Communion time. The consecrated host is the complete Christ, body and blood (in case you forgot); (3) If you are scheduled as CM please get a replacement;  (4) It is quite acceptable to bow towards someone instead of shaking their hand at the Sign of Peace.
