Currently (I found out some people aren’t aware of this), every Tuesday and Friday there are two weekday Masses, one at St. Bartholomew, and one at Notre Dame. Canon Law prescribes, as well as +Bishop Persico’s directives on pastoral planning, that when one priest has more than one parish, there is to be only one sched-uled Mass on each weekday. With all the funerals, with two separate offices, with two thriving youth / young adult groups, with sick calls and home visits, with parish life, this rule is designed to help the pastor carry out all of his responsibilities. I was encouraged to do this when I arrived, but I waited. After speaking with leadership at both parishes, starting on July 1st, the weekday Mass schedule will be adjusted as follows: St. Bartholomew will have Mass on Tuesday (5:30 p.m.) and Thursday (7:30 a.m.), and Notre Dame will have Mass on Wednesday (9 a.m.) and Friday (9 a.m.). The weekend Mass schedule remains the same.

THERE ARE ALSO NO MASSES ON JUNE 24, 25 & 26 BECAUSE FR MILLER WILL BE ATTENDING THE ANNUAL EMMAUS CONVOCATION WITH OTHER PRIESTS & DEACONS FROM OUR DIOCESE.  THERE WILL BE 9:00AM MASS ON JUNE 27.
