Bulletin

Directions

The 2020 St. Patrick's Fall Dinner and Games, normally held the first weekend of November, have been cancelled due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.

New Directives Regarding the Coronavirus

In following up my comments to you recently, I wish to review some adjustments to our diocesan and parish protocols in response to the pandemic before us. Please take note:

In light of recent state directives and diocesan mandates, churches are at full capacity.
Social distancing and masks are both strongly encouraged.
Hymnals are available to you for the taking. Each hymnal is yours to keep.
Our music ministry will return over time. The Mass commons will be sung, for they are rather brief. It is important we especially consider wearing a mask while singing. Of course, this depends as to how comfortable our music ministers are during this pandemic.
The Kiss of Peace during Mass is reinstated. Please exchange a gesture of peace around you with maybe a wave, a nudge, or what have you. Family members may, of course, offer a gesture of physical contact with one another.
Further adjustments will be made in light of health department recommendations and diocesan mandates.

Thank you for your understanding and your patience during this time. Please know we are all called to take care of one another in bringing forth a safe place to worship here at St. Patrick's.

Church Support

Some have inquired as to how to make their financial contribution to the parish in light of the absence of masses and other liturgical celebrations.
This current global health crisis has, of course, generated a great deal of anxiety and fear as well as created significant financial and economic hardship. Obviously, these concerns have overwhelmed many of us, and justifiably so. Nevertheless, if you are able to make your financial gift to the parish, please make it in one of two ways:

electronic giving, (see green box above),
mail - St. Patrick's Catholic Church, PO Box 99, Sidney, NE 69162

I am so thankful for your financial support and your generosity in these unsettling times as we pay attention to the day to day operations here at St. Patrick's.
Please know of my daily prayer for you and your familes.
Fr. Mike McDermott
