Church Support $7,261.00 Youth 65.00 Offertory $304.25 St. Joseph—no Masses last weekend Thank you for your financial help in fulfilling

our mission to make Jesus present to all.

I have been asked to explain when Masses

will be canceled. This will be different for

O’Brien County and Spencer and also for

weekday and weekend Masses.

In Spencer there will be Mass unless Scott

Allen tells me that the parking lot and side-

walks are unsafe for people to navigate.

This will still be the case on a weekday even

if school starts late or is called off and

includes Friday.

For O’Brien County, there will not be a

weekday Mass if the local school district

calls for a late start or no school due to

weather. On weekend Masses I will decide

based on weather, travel conditions, and

the condition of parking lots and sidewalks.

I usually consult with others to gather infor-

mation before making a decision.

This being said, please use your own good

judgement as to whether or not it is safe

for you to attend Mass. Even though there

is Mass, it may not be safe for you to drive

or walk in questionable conditions. If Mass

is canceled or no one shows up for Mass,

then I will reschedule that Mass intention

for another time.

Please consult KICD or KIWA radio or their

websites to find out if a Mass is canceled.

We will also get the word out through email

or social media. It helps all of us to have a

good attendance at Mass, but please keep

yourselves safe. Let me know if you have

any questions. Blessings, Fr. Tim
