St. Barbara News May 10, 2021
Please Continue To Make Mass Reservations!*Since our seating capacity is still only 50 people, we are trying our best to try to accommodate everyone who wants to attend Mass each week. Making a reservation is still very much recommended at this time instead of walk-ins. We still have to have the names of those attending for contact tracing.
* Also, we are in the process of having our church sound system hooked up to an FM Transmitter. This means you will be able to sit in your vehicle on the church grounds and listen to the Sunday Mass on your radio. More details will be available soon!
*Sunday Mass Reservations can be made by calling the office before noon on Fridays, 244-1559 x 202. Or, you may also call Christy at 279-1322 or text 435-7196 to make a St. Barbara Reservation.
*Some of you like to sign up a month at a time, but during April, you will need to make weekly reservations for Easter Sunday and on
DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, THE DISPENSATION FROM THE OBLIGATION OF SUNDAY AND HOLY DAY MASSES FOR ALL CATHOLICS STILL REMAINS IN EFFECT.

St. Barbara Bingo Update:
As of now, bingo will not allowed in October. The Diocesan guidelines limits the church gatherings to 50% capacity or 50 people. Food items cannot be prepared in the home or should be catered (this would eliminate the "sloppy joes" we serve) Also, with half our parish families still not attending Mass, it would be difficult to collect money from each Quilt Group and get raffle prizes, which are collected in May. Any updates or changes to the guidelines will be posted in the bulletin.
Donations to the St. Barbara Sodality can be made at any time, (cash or checks made to the St. Barbara Sodality can be put in the collection basket in a separate envelope marked “Sodality”).
Last year the Sodality purchased new beds for the rectory and continues to buy the hosts and candles. This year, new flags were bought for the cemetery. As there was no 2020 Bingo and we still currently cannot have monthly bake sales, there is no income for the Sodality. Thank you.
