JULY 3, 2016
The Religious Education Office and the Rec-
tory Office will be closed in observance of
Fourth of July Holiday on Monday, July 4,
2016. As always in the event of an emer-
gency call the rectory office 387-7119 and
the answering service will contact Fr. Gene and /or Fr.
Francois and your call will be returned as soon as possible.
The Religious Education Office and the Rectory Office will
resume regular hours on Tuesday, July 5, 2016. The Recto-
ry Office hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Fri-
day, 9:00am. to 12:30pm. The Rectory Office is closed
Thursdays. The Religious Education hours are Monday
through Wednesday 10:00am to 3:00pm. Summer hours are
in effect.
Please be aware that there are now
stricter legal and ethical guidelines re-
garding the dissemination of patient information from hos-
pitals to churches and clergy. In addition, today’s shorter
hospital stays make timely pastoral visit difficult at best.
Therefore, if you have occasion to be hospitalized and de-
sire pastoral support, you or a family member should do
two things. Notify the rectory of the hospitalization as
soon as possible. Also, upon admission to the hospital you
will be asked if you desire to have your religious affiliation
noted as part of your medical record. Please state both
your denomination and parish. If you fail to do either of
the above, your parish priest may have no way of knowing
your needs.
