So Close No Matter How Far

We are now a few weeks away from the Beacons of Light D-Day on Friday, July 1. Please check out our Priest Rotation Schedule for the first couple of weeks. We will post a schedule each week for several weeks to help you get an idea of how the rotation works and help you to empathize with your priests.
Remember that we will have one daily Mass at Holy Angels starting July 1. We will have NO daily Mass on Mondays. Mass will be at 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Friday Mass will be at 8:30 a.m. There will only be Saturday morning Mass on First Saturdays at Holy Angels. The normally scheduled Saturday Mass will be at Sacred Heart each week. Our Sunday Mass schedule will remain as is. Our day for Adoration will move to Tuesdays following the 7:00 a.m. Mass and end with Benediction at 6:00 p.m. Confessions will be on Tuesday from 5:00-6:00 p.m., Wednesday from 12:00-1:00 p.m., Saturday from 3:15-4:15 p.m., and Sunday from 8:30-9:00 a.m. Confession will be available on Thursday before First Fridays at 3:00-4:00 p.m. and on First Fridays from 4:00-5:00 p.m.

Also, a reminder that we will have a Day of Grace at Sacred Heart this coming Thursday, June 23, from 6:00 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Confession will be heard in the church itself where Eucharistic Adoration will be taking place as well, following the 8:00 a.m. Mass until we end at 9:30 p.m. Because of my need to get into the Confessional at Sacred Heart at 7:45 a.m. on this day, the early Mass at Holy Angels will be at 6:45 a.m. on Thursday, June 23.

Next Sunday, July 26, we will have our next Family of Parishes Holy Hour at St. Michael from 7:00- 8:00 p.m. Please come out for this opportunity to pray for our Family of Parishes as we prepare for Beacons of Light. The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life as the Second Vatican Council told us. I would ask all parishioners to pray that one day we would be able to have a Perpetual Adoration Chapel in our Family of Parishes. We already have Adoration three days a week in our Family, so we just need to have a group of individuals to organize such a task. Please consider signing up for the 12:00-1:00 p.m. hour and the 5:00-6:00 p.m. hour for Adoration at Holy Angels when it

moves to Tuesdays in July. Thanks in advance for volunteering.
Thank you to the staff at Holy Angels and all the staff of NW-7. They have been a wonderful crew to work with already. I am super excited about the opportunity we have in our Family to build up our parishioners through our staff. I want to especially thank Barb Blanco and Jill Heitmeyer, who have been not only extraordinarily hard workers, but have also been sources of encouragement to me in difficult times.
Peace in Christ,

Fr. Jarred Kohn
