As you know, this Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Lenten season. The liturgies for Wednesday are as follows: 7:00 am: Mass at St. Vitus 9:00 am: Mass at St. Camillus and St. Vitus 12 Noon: Mass at St. Mary 4:00 pm: Service with Ashes at St. Mary 7:00 pm: Mass at St. Camillus and St. Vitus. COVID-19 restrictions apply at all locations.
During the Advent season, we conducted a Parish Survey. After reviewing the results with the Pastoral and Finance Councils, I would like now to share the survey summary with all of you. Because the results are rather extensive, we are unable to provide all that information in the bulletin. Please log onto our website: HSPLC.ORG for a complete report. Look for 2020 Survey Results on the Home Page.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the survey—my hope was that it would provide a tool to help you realize the total reality of our situation. And, also, to give you an opportunity to offer your thoughts based on the facts and not assumptions.
Thank you to all of our volunteers in the fundraising efforts. Our wonderful cooks continue to produce delicious food. Our Fish Dinners are the absolute best in the area! Don’t forget the Ash Wednesday Dinner at St. Vincent de Paul—see the details on page 12 of this bulletin. This year our Lenten Friday Fish Dinners will be at two locations: St. Vincent de Paul and St. James—see page 13 of this bulletin for details. Please know how grateful I am to all of you who make this delicious food and also all of you who support our parish through your purchase of these extraordinary culinary delights!
