Brothers and Sisters;
We continue to see an increase in the rate of Covid cases throughout Wisconsin and in particular here in Rock County.  We have recently experienced the loss of a faithful friend due to this virus.  We currently have brothers and sisters whose health is compromised as they battle this illness.  We, as brothers and sisters, we as followers of Christ; must do all we can to help mitigate the spread of Covid.
As Paul wrote to the Philippians, 2:3-4: Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves,
each looking out not for his own interests, but also for those of others.

We are asking that you wear a mask when you come to church.  If due to health reasons, you are unable to wear a mask, attendance at a less populated weekday Mass is preferable.  Even then, you should enter the building wearing a mask and only remove it as needed when seated distanced from others.

Those assisting with Mass in any ministerial position such as Usher, Lector, Cantor etc., should wear a mask as a sign of the same attitude that is also in Christ Jesus (Phil. 2:5).  The mask should remain on while conducting their ministerial duty.  As such, Lectors should lector with their mask on, Cantors should cantor with their mask on and Ushers should usher with their mask on. Our Rock County Health Department liaison has recently reminded us the risk of infecting others doubles if not wearing mask.

Pope Francis has said, “we can heal the world if we work together for the common good.”
Let each of us be a part of the healing.  Let each of us be a part of the prayer.  And let each of us be a part of the Body of Christ.

Msgr. Dan Ganshert, Pastor
Bob Craig, Dir. of Liturgy
