GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

MISSION 2017: Fr. Patrick Martin will be presid-ing over the Parish Missions for IHM and St. William. The following is the schedule for the Mission taking place August 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th. Please note that due to the Eclipse this will be a COMBINED Mission for both parishes tak-

ing place at IHM. Weekend Masses are the regularly sched-uled Masses at IHM, i.e., Saturday at 4PM and Sunday at 9AM. Mass on Monday, August 28th and Tuesday, August 29th will be at 7PM. Confessions will be from 9AM-11AM and 6PM-7PM on Monday and Tuesday. More information will be forthcoming so please mark your calendars now for this very spiritual event for our Parishes. …………………………………………………………………. LOOKING AHEAD: Tuesday, August 15th is the Feast of the Assumption of our Blessed Virgin, and is a Holy Day of Obligation. The Mass schedule is as follows: 12 Noon at St. William and 5PM at IHM. …………………………………………………………………………………..

LAUDATO SI. A spirituality which forgets God as all-powerful and Creator is not acceptable. That is how we end up worshipping early powers, or ourselves usurping the place of God, even to the point of claiming an unlimited right to tram-ple his creation underfoot. Page 33. …………………………………………………………………. WE WARMLY WELCOME BACK our seasonal Parishion-ers and hope that you have a wonderful summer in the moun-tains! This is just a reminder that if you do not contribute on line or already have your envelopes, please visit the table in the Commons area of both Churches to pick up your envelope box. If they are not there and you desire to have them, please contact the Office at 837-2000. …………………………………………………………………. I AM OFFERING PEOPLE a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature, “JESUS I TRUST IN YOU.”

The Divine Mercy Chaplet is recited each Friday after the 5PM Mass at St. William. All are invited to come to the fountain of mercy.
