A SPECIAL NOTE TO OUR NOON LITURGY
PARISHIONERS
I wanted to thank you all for your wonderful
openness to our Latino brothers and sisters who
have been coming to the Noon liturgy so that
they could celebrate and pray with us when
they were unable to celebrate Mass in Spanish.
We have tried to integrate some bilingual
elements to create a sense of inclusion and
welcome. We did this for two reasons. One was
that the availability of Jesuits who were able to
preside in Spanish was limited. Secondly, we are
a universal Church and it is good from time to
time to hear the sounds of prayer in other
languages. This year we are blessed with the
presence of two Jesuits, one from Colombia and
the other from Mexico. Since we are fortunate
enough to have this pastoral help, we will be
celebrating only one bilingual Mass a month.
11:15 am
4:30 pm

(The last Sunday of the month). On the other
Sundays the Latino community will be
celebrating a Spanish Mass in the Lannon
Chapel.
Again, I am most grateful for your welcome and
your openness to our new parishioners.
