I want to use this space to announce that the CCW has decided to cancel the annual soup supper which is held the 1st Sunday of November. The decision was arrived at after much consideration and discussion. The pros and cons were many. It would have been nice to have some “normal” in our lives during a year of abnormal and scary events. But the obstacles to be considered were many. Paramount in consideration was safety. The health department has given approval to such events, but they must be held at 75% capacity. This could certainly be done. But there still remains a good deal of uneasiness about the “unknowns”, would there be enough help, serving safely, what if the presence of the virus increased, etc. etc. The event has served two purposes, fund raising for the CCW and parish fellowship while working together toward a common goal. Since it is questionable that parish fellowship and community would be well served by having this event it was determined that the wise decision would be to cancel at this time and look to the future for the possibilities of another event or simply waiting till next year. To those of you who faithfully looked forward to the delicious soup, we apologize. On a better note, this Friday, Oct. 2, we will restart 1st Friday Adoration. We will begin with a shorter time. Adoration will begin after the 6:45 AM Mass and conclude with 12 Noon Benediction. This means we will need to cover 6 hours of adoration. It would be helpful if you can sign up for a designated hour but if you cannot, come when you can. Yours in Christ our Lord. Fr. Sid.
