From Fr. Nathan LaLiberte
Mass Time Changes Bulletin
It has been over a month since I proposed the possibility of having some changes in the mass times here at St.
Maximilian Kolbe in Delano. I have, to date, had 42 different
people contact me about their preferences for mass time
changes. The demographic break down was 11 people requested no changes to be made to the mass times, 19 people
requested a Tuesday evening mass, 11 people requested a
Wednesday evening mass, and 1 person added the suggestion
of an afternoon mass. Thus we had a total of 30 people requesting some kind of an evening mass to be added to the
mass schedule here in Delano.
So after surveying the parish and speaking with the
Parish Council we are going to make the following change to
our mass schedule starting, December 1st, 2015 (The first
week of Advent, which is the new liturgical year). We will no
longer have a Tuesday morning mass at St. Joseph Church, but
will instead have 5:00 p.m. confessions at St. Peter Church
followed by a 6:00 p.m. mass at St. Peter Church every Tuesday.
At our neighboring parish in Watertown, Immaculate
Conception, there is an 8:00 a.m. Tuesday mass, so that if the
people who voted to make no change would still like to attend a morning mass on Tuesdays, instead of an evening mass
here in Delano, there is still another option that is just a bit
down the road.
Because our change of mass time on Tuesday will
also dislodge one of our standard confession times, I will also
be moving a confession time slot to Thursday morning at St.
Joseph Church. We will have confessions at 8:00 a.m. (before
mass), mass at 8:30 a.m. as usual, and then confessions immediately after the mass until they are all heard.
In the end, the main reason for the one daily mass
time change, was to hopefully allow a different demographic
to attend mass during the week if they so desired. Almost all
of the people who voted for the evening mass were people
who work a job that takes them away from the morning mass
time. I thank the current daily mass crowd for their support
in desiring to help 30 more people come to daily mass during
the week. I realize that it is hard to break something that has
been the “routine” for several years, but I am most grateful
for the flexibility that you are extending to help our community grow in love of the Eucharist through the mass.
