We are adding another opportunity for Mass on Saturday evening and adjusting our Mass times. Now that our parish has been blessed to have another priest, Fr. Raj, we are in a position to add another weekend Mass. Beginning June 12-13, the following weekend Mass schedule will become effective.
4:00 p.m. Saturday evening Mass at St. John Paul II Parish
5:30 p.m. Saturday evening Mass at Christ the Good Shepherd Parish
9:00 a.m. Sunday Mass at St. John Paul II Parish
10:30 a.m. Sunday Mass at Christ the Good Shepherd Parish.
Each Saturday Mass will be preceded with an opportunity for Private Penance (Confession) -
3:00-3:45 p.m. Confessions at St. John Paul II Parish
4:30-5:15 p.m. Confessions at Christ the Good Shepherd Parish
Hopefully this addition and adjustment to our weekend Mass times will provide more opportunities for people to attend Mass. It will eliminate the rotation of the Saturday evening Mass. A Saturday 5:30 p.m. Mass may be helpful to people who want/need a later Mass, especially in the summer. This 5:30 p.m. Mass will be the latest Saturday evening Mass in the Tri-city area giving an opportunity for others to attend. There is at a 30-minute interval between the Masses at each parish in order that one priest could travel between the two parishes to cover all four Masses should the occasion arise for him to have to do so. We will go with this new schedule for one year and then evaluate it to see if more people are able to attend.
