We are pleased for the return of our weekly Holy Hour of Adoration led by Father David.
Our parishes began this practice during our celebration of the Year of the Eucharist and it was so impactful that we kept it.
Every Sunday from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm join Father David in a spirit led Holy Hour of Adoration at Saint Patrick's Church in Havana.
First, just as a reminder, if you are sick please do not come to Mass.
Second, if you are a high risk person for covid-19 you might want to consider staying home from Mass until you feel comfortable returning; you still have dispensation to stay home and we still have resources for worship at home available under the Worship At Home link under the News and Events tab.
As we resume please keep the following points in mind:
1) No one is obligated to come to Mass until further notice.
2) Try to keep social distancing as best you can.
3) Some of the pews will be "closed" to help keep social distancing
4) Please wear a mask except for communion time.
5) Please drop envelopes/offerings in the basket as you enter/leave the church.
6) Please use hand sanitizer when you enter and leave the church.
7) Do not gather and converse before or after Mass inside the church.
8) The bathrooms will be open for use.
9) If you would like to use a missalette for Mass, pick one up out of the box by the entrance of the church, then take it home with you and bring the same one back with you for each Mass.
We are a community of three Parishes serving East Fulton and all of Mason Counties under the Pastoral Care of Father David Whiteside. While the trip from St. Mary's to Immaculate Conception is 30 miles we act as one Catholic Community praying for, working with, serving and supporting each other. Like God is Three in One, we like to think our three parishes make one wonderful community.
We have a wonderful church family who is very active both within our parishes and the surrounding community. Rural West Central Illinois is a needy area and we look to do our best to help our fellow man. We have a variety of events and service opportunities throughout the year.
