Emergencies!! Just to let you know!!!
In the event of an emergency please call the rectory and
indicate the nature of your emergency to the answering
service. Father Gene will be contacted and will return your
call as soon as possible. If it is not an emergency, kindly
leave your message clearly with the service, Fr. Gene or the
parish secretary, Denise will return your call when office
hours resume. For peace of mind, the service is normally on

various options.
WHEN YOU ARE HOSPITALIZED
Please be aware that there are now stricter legal and ethical
guidelines regarding, the dissemination of patient,
information from hospitals to churches and clergy. In
addition today’s shorter hospital stays make timely pastoral
visit difficult at best. Therefore, if you have occasion to be
hospitalized and desire pastoral support, you or a family
member should do two things. Notify the rectory of the
hospitalization as soon as possible. Also, upon admission to
the hospital you will be asked if you desire to have your
religious affiliation noted as part of your medical record.
Please state both your denomination and parish. If you fail
to do either of the above, your parish priest may have no
way of knowing your needs.
LENTEN REGULATIONS
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, are days of fast (one full meal
for those 21-59 years of age) and total abstinence (no meat for
those over 14 years) Besides Good Friday. Lent has six other
Fridays which are days of abstinence (no meat for those over 14
years.)
EASTER DUTY
The obligation to receive Holy Communion between the First
Sunday of Lent and Trinity Sunday extends from February 17,
2013 through May 26, 2013.
