A Note from our Pastor
Dear Parishioners,
Let me express a heartfelt gratitude to five of our parishioners who donated time, effort and equipment to fix the annoying noise that was coming from our diffusers in the church ceiling. After many hours of work, high under the ceiling each diffuser has been fixed and the noise reduced to a gentle flow of the air through it. On another note,
I noticed that Costco is selling pre-lit Christmas trees which would be attractive for sanctuary decorations at Christmas time, as the old trees we have are quite worn out. If anyone is financially capable to donate one or two trees to Saint Olaf, that would greatly enhance our worship space at Christmas.
Lastly, let me remind you at the present time there is still no Sunday Mass obligation in effect. However, we people are very much creatures of habit so I would encourage those of you who are not vulnerable to consider returning to a good habit of community worship either on Sunday or weekdays, which are usually less crowded. Weekday Masses are Monday 6:00 p.m. and Tuesday - Friday 8:00 a.m.
Thank you, Fr. Andrzej
Sunday Mass will be available LIVE at 11:30 a.m. via Fr. Andrzej's Facebook page.
Family Prayer Service
If you are unable to attend Sunday Mass due to vulnerability, we invite you to unite yourselves spiritually to the Mass as it is being celebrated in our churches. You can join our worship via the newly installed Family Prayer Service link (below).
This resource is offered to provide a ritual by which families, "the domestic church," can keep the Lord's day holy by joining together to celebrate part of the Church's liturgy at home. Ideally, the head of the family will lead the service; other members of the family should take on roles as readers. It would be appropriate to celebrate this service at the usual time the family would attend Mass.
If possible, prepare a suitable prayer space with a crucifix, holy picture and/or a candle or two. If the family is blessed with musical talent, hymns would be appropriate.

Our Mission
PRAYER TO MAKE A “SPIRITUAL COMMUNION”
Saint Teresa of Avila wrote: “When you cannot receive Communion and cannot attend Mass, you can make a spiritual communion, which is a most beneficial practice; by it the love of God will be greatly impressed on you.”
My Jesus,
I believe that you are present
in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things,
and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive you sacramentally,
please come spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you now
as if you were already there
and I unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me
to be separated from you.
Amen
