A Note from our Pastor
Due to the significant increase of infections lately, the Diocese is asking us to wear masks or facial coverings during masses when around other people to help minimize the number of people getting sick. We are told by health officials that masks as well as sitting in physical distance from those who are not members of your household can help to prevent the spread of viruses. If anyone feels sick and/or has symptoms indicating the presence of a virus, please remain at home.
We will resume live-streaming our Mass at 11:30 a.m. on Facebook at SaintOlafut UT on Sundays until the infections decrease.
A blessing from Pope Francis
O Mary, You shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the cross, united with Jesus’ pain, kept our faith firm. You know what we need, and we trust that you will provide for those needs so that, as at Cana of Galilee, joy and celebration may return after this moment of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the will of the Father and to do what Jesus tells us: he who took our suffering upon himself, and burdened himself with our sorrows to bring us, through the cross, to the joy of resurrection. Amen
Fr. Andrzej

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
