Month: September 2018

National Day of Prayer - October 7th

Holy Name will be participating in The National Day of Prayer for Our Nation - a “Mini Pilgrimage” – as we beg Mary for her protection and guidance for our Country and the Church in these difficult times! We will be part of the “Rosary Coast to Coast Rally” on Sunday, October 7th, at 4:00p.m. for the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, along with parishes across the country participating in this National Day of Prayer. At that time the Rosary will be said outdoors, (weather permitting). Participants will gather on the grassy area next to the Social Center. If you would like more information on the country-wide Rosary Coast to Coast, please visit rosarycoasttocoast.com.

In addition, on Saturday, October 13th, a Rosary and Rally sponsored by the Blue Army will take place right after the 8:15a.m. Mass. This, too, will be outdoors, weather permitting. Everyone is welcomed to both events!

Church Closed October 4th and 5th

Springfield Diocesan Cultivating Unity Convocation

Thursday, October 4th and Friday, October 5th, there will be NO Daily or Funeral Masses, so the priests of the Diocese can be in attendance for this important event. We ask that you please pray for the success of this Convocation and for the spiritual renewal of the presbyterate of the Diocese of Springfield.

Please note: Our priests will be away Wednesday afternoon until Friday afternoon.

Also, we will be cleaning the carpets on Thursday and Friday, so the church will be closed for all activities on those two days. Thank you for your understanding.
