Mark your calendar for August 21st, our annual Church Picnic at the Montello City Park.  Mass will be celebrated at 4 p.m., followed by a Pot Luck supper. The parish will provide hot sandwiches and beverages.  Families are asked to bring a dish to pass: Last names A-M are asked to bring a side dish or salad. Last names N-Z are asked to bring a dessert. Bingo games and a Cornhole Tournament will follow dinner. We will have sign-up sheets posted by both entrances for the Cornhole Tournament. Our family picnic is sure to be fun for everyone!
 
 

Our annual parish picnic will be held on Sunday, August 29th at Pioneer Park in Westfield, beginning with an outdoor Mass at 10 a.m.  Stay tuned for more details.

Sanctuary Lamp Intention 

The Sanctuary Lamp is the red candle located on the wall near the tabernacle in the sanctuary of our churches.  We know that bread consecrated at Mass to become the real presence of Jesus Christ, is reserved in the tabernacle, making Christ always present in our church.  The Sanctuary Lamp burns in silent witness of this presence.  We offer the opportunity to have the sanctuary lamp burn for your intention or in memory of a  loved one.  You might want to request the lamp to burn during the anniversary of a loved one’s death, or when someone is ill or facing surgery.   Your lamp will burn for seven days from Sunday through Saturday.  We ask for a donation of $10 to help cover the cost of the candle.  Contact Steve Zoulek in the parish office to schedule your Sanctuary Lamp Memorial / Intention.
