Deacon Ward's Almost Daily Message 
Wednesday May 27, 2020

 🌹🌹🌹🌹

Holy Sunday Masses will resume !

Mater Dei parish will again be celebrating Sunday and Holy Day masses beginning the weekend of June 6 and 7.

There will be  protocols regarding the number of people who can attend and precautions that will be in place for everyone's safety.

And some of those protocols are:


  • If you are sick or feeling ill...do not come to Mass.
  • Attendees are asked to wear a mask.
  • Attendees are asked to bring their own hand sanitizer.
  • If there are too many attendees (more than 25% of Church's capacity) the attendee will be asked to go to the next Mass time being offered. If there is a large attendance trend, parishioners will be asked to sign up to attend a particular Mass time.
  • Individual attendees will sit where the pews are marked (spacing will be 6 feet apart).
  • Families may sit together.
  • There will be no missalettes or song books in the pews.
  • Holy Communion will be distributed at the end of Mass; Holy Communion will be offered at the door as you are exiting and will be given on the hand only. The Church bulletin will also be handed out at this time.
  • There is to be no group gatherings before, during, or after the Mass in the Church.
  • Utilize your hand sanitizer when leaving.
  • The Church will be sanitized after each Mass.


These protocols and precautions may be modified or changed...stay tuned!

Coming together in one accord to pray is powerful!
🌹🌹🌹🌹

A final thought...

We must try to converse with God 
in little ways while we go about
our daily lives...not in memorized 
prayer, not trying to recite 
previously formed thoughts.
Rather, we should purely and 
simply reveal our hearts as the
words come to us.
Bro. Lawrence

 🌹🌹Until next time...In His Peace.   Deacon Ward🌹🌹

I know it's been a while  since I've posted,  but there hasn't been a whole lot to bring to you regarding  Church announcements.  And, since this is an  "Announcements" blog, I will  only post when there  is something significant to bring to you.  You can stay  up t o  date with announcements by checking the weekly Church bulletin and by going to the Mater Dei website. I enjoy bringing to you reflections, prayers and such; and even though there is only a small handful of you that have been reading  this blog, I will continue to do so.
