SUNDAY, AUGUST 24, 2025 | 21ST Sunday in Ordinary Time 

ANNOUNCEMENTS

PARISH NEWS: 

1. St. Michael Prayer after the Mass: 
2. Starting today, we will not be praying the St. Michael Prayer at the end of Sunday Masses. The St. Michael Prayer will only be prayed at the 6:30 AM weekday Masses.
3. Weekday Mass Times: 
4. Starting September, the weekday daily Mass times will remain at 6:30 AM. We won’t be moving the Mass if it’s a holiday or if it’s the first Saturday of the month. The reason for this is because it is confusing for parishioners if Mass is 6:30 AM or 8:00 AM on certain days. Especially since our sign only says 6:30 AM. 
5. There will still be Anointing of the Sick after the Mass on First Saturdays. 
6. Adoration and Benediction: 
7. Starting September, Adoration and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament will only be on First Fridays from 7:00 AM – 12:00 PM and on 3rd Thursdays from 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM. Adoration will not be on every Friday of the month, and we have moved Adoration from the 2nd Thursday to the 3rd Thursday. 
8. There will still be confessions during Adoration on 3rd Thursdays of the month. 
9. Food Pantry: 
10. Starting September, the food collection will ONLY be on the 3rd weekend of every month. Fr. Ace met with the leader of the Food Pantry ministry at St. Pius and found that one of the parishes in our vicariate collects and sends non-perishable food items to St. Pius on the first week of the month. Therefore, it was decided that we can focus our efforts to the middle of the month to help St. Pius’ food pantry ministry. 
11. Church Website: 
12. Our Church website has been moved to a better hosting company and one of our young adults and our staff is working on populating the website. Currently the website is off due to this move and work. We are planning to launch the new website on October 1st. 

These changes are implemented after discussions with the Pastor, Parochial Vicar, Church and School Leadership Team

 along with members of parish. If there’s questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our church office.
