Dear Parishioners,
As we near the end of our Lenten season, I write with the realization that this Lent has become much more difficult and longer than anticipated. Currently, public Masses and parish events are cancelled through May 15, when we hope and pray that conditions will allow us to once more gather together as a community of faith.
During this time, I will be celebrating Mass privately every day by offering Mass intentions, and will be holding all of you up in prayer. This Sunday I will bless the palms and make them available for you to pick up at the back of Sacred Heart church. I realize that going without the Eucharist is a very painful reality, and I hope that the Lord will draw us all close to His Sacred Heart, even if we are unable to receive Him sacramentally.
All are welcome to come and pray at any time during the day between 8am to 6pm in the church at Sacred Heart and other churches if they are accessible. Additionally, I am still available for the Sacrament of Penance, Anointing of the Sick, and Viaticum. Please contact me at 507-582-3321 to arrange for any sacramental or pastoral needs.
Since there are still ongoing operating expenses, I would ask that you please continue to support the parish as you are able. You can send your envelopes to the parish office, (utilize online giving,) or go to the Catholic Foundation of Southern Minnesota’s special webpage, catholicfsmn.org/parish-donations, where you can directly donate to individual parishes.
Lastly, I encourage you to stay strong in faith and utilize the many spiritual resources on the diocesan / parish website, to help you keep holy the Sabbath and stay united with the Church in prayer. In addition to the various options for viewing Mass online or on TV, this year Bishop Quinn’s private celebrations of the Holy Week Liturgies will be live-streamed, to enable the faithful across the diocese to watch and spiritually join him for these solemn celebrations of our faith. Details can be found at dowr.org.
Bishop Quinn’s Holy Week celebrations schedule:
Palm Sunday – 10:30 a.m.
Holy Thursday – 7 p.m.
Good Friday – 12 p.m.
Holy Saturday – 8 p.m.
Easter Sunday – 10:30 a.m. These Liturgies can be accessed at the Diocese of Winona-Rochester Weekly Mass webpage: www.dowr.org/about/weekly-mass.html.
Please be assured of my prayers for you during these difficult and uncertain times. May Our Blessed Mother, Help of the Sick, intercede for us and comfort us.
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. Swamy Pothireddy, Pastor
