Ushers!
We are scheduling ushers once again at Mass. In the past, we scheduled two men each week, going in alphabetical order. That seemed to work, and we will be scheduling that way again soon. There are a few who no longer wish to be an usher, so we do need to re-build the list. Two women have signed up as ushers and more are welcome! Looking over the current list, there are approximately 15 people who regularly usher right now and, hopefully, more will return. Please let Christy know if you wish to be added or removed.
Presentation of Offertory Gifts
Family members are once again allowed to present the Offertory Gifts. If the Mass Intention for the day is for a family member, you may present the Gifts. If no family member is present at the Mass, then volunteers will be needed.
Children's Collection
Children are welcome to bring their offerings to the altar during the Presentation of the Gifts.

St. Barbara Cemetery
For those who have never seen the St. Barbara Cemetery and Pavilion, Christy was kind enough to send us a few pictures. Here is one! -
Bingo Update!
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.
