Comments Off on Centering Prayer Group Continues

Our Centering Prayer group continues to meet on Mondays at an earlier time (4:00-5:00 pm) via Zoom so we can stay connected and support each other in our practice. After the initial Centering Prayer period, we are experiencing “lectio divina,” a way of praying the Scriptures that lets God speak to us through God’s inspired Word and then our response to the Word received. All are welcome to join us! Please contact Susan Brace for the Zoom link: susan.r.brace@gmail.com or 423-681-8284.

Sunday Mass Dispensation Extended

Comments Off on Sunday Mass Dispensation Extended

The dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass for persons with health reasons or concerns remains in effect for all in the Archdiocese until further notice. Because of this, those wishing to participate in Mass and receive Holy Communion can do so by attending any Mass any day of the week. The obligation to keep a holy Sabbath remains, and Catholics are reminded that, even while homebound, they are to devote themselves to, among other practices, personal prayer, meditation on the readings from the Sunday Mass and the making of a spiritual Communion. While those who are at high risk or who care for someone at … Continue reading →

Comments Off on Saturday Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament

Mass is celebrated every Saturday at 8:30 a.m. in Our Lady of the Rosary Chapel followed by Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament from 9:00 a.m. until Benediction at 3:00 p.m. I have decided against having guardians responsible for specific time slots, however, it is my hope that many of you will feel called to be present at a certain time, at least on most Saturdays, for half an hour, or an hour, so that there will usually be someone in the chapel during the six hours of Exposition. When I was a seminarian in New Orleans (2009-2015), I received many … Continue reading →

Comments Off on Porch Talk

“Porch Talk” is Fr. Mark’s idea to visit parishioners, especially the elderly and homebound, at their homes, but not inside. He is happy to visit folks on their front porch, back porch, deck, driveway, or in their yard. Fr. Mark will always come prepared with a mask and sanitizer. The sacraments of Holy Communion, Anointing of the Sick, and Reconciliation will be available if desired. “Porch Talk” is available now. Call Fr. Mark directly at 770-365-5200 to arrange a visit.
