Fri 9am-12pmTO THE FAITHFUL OF OUR PASTORATE,Many blessings on our celebration of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Heart of Mary this Sunday. Even if you can’t make the Mass at 10:30a.m., IHM, please come to the picnic following Mass, in the backyard of the church campus. Thanks to Kathy Marshall and many other volunteers who made this happen. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for now and at the hour of our death.
Last July when we began the new Mass schedule for the pastorate, I communicated that a review of the Mass times would happen after one year, and how fast that is approaching!
I started in April having many conversations about this topic with my priests, staff, musicians, leadership team, and transition team. In summation, the consensus was that we maintain the current schedule “as is” for at least another year, possibly longer. Being that we’re not yet canonically or civilly merged as a parish I feel another year of data, maybe more depending on the merging timeline, of the same Mass times will be helpful. I don’t want to get into a situation where we’re changing Mass times on a frequent basis. Once the new parish is erected this would be another chance to revisit these times with the newly formed pastoral council.
I’m sorry this is possibly not the news you’re excited about, but rest assured it is a topic that remains on the table for future conversation and possible revision.
Thank you for your faith and love for the Lord lived out in Stella Maris Pastorate.
In the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
Fr. Chad M. Droessler
