When we make our goal, 10% of the money raised stays within the parish. And for every dollar raised over the goal we receive 50% back. We have until the end of August to reach our goal of $205,000. We are just over $12,000 from making our goal. Your participation can put us over the top!
Three years ago, a Pew Research study found that 37% of regular Catholic Mass attendees believe that the Eucharist is only a symbol. For this reason, among others, our US Bishops have called us a three-year period of Eucharistic Revival. That means that Catholics on all levels (you and me!) are called to tell the whole world that Jesus is alive and present with us in the Eucharist today.
The world is hurting out there. People are searching for the only love that can satisfy the deepest longings of the human heart but they are searching in all the wrong places. This week's activity will help you be better prepared to share with others, inside and out of the church, the fundamental truths we believe about the Eucharist and what this 3-Year Eucharistic Revival is all about.
The Church (and you) exist in order to evangelize - and this week's activity will help you be ready to do just that for the people that you encounter in your daily life.
Check out this week's Introductory video from Deacon Tim describing this week's activity. Then, read the activity and then pull those you live with together and talk about how you might encourage one another to work on being able to share your story of coming to faith with others in a way that invites and attracts them to their own encounter with Jesus.

Bishop Stowe Ends the Mask Requirement for Mass and other Liturgical Celebrations.
With the latest directives regarding masking from the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the CDC, it is now appropriate to allow for optional masking and site-based decision making about when it might be necessary to require masks because of local conditions. The Bishop continues to urge all Catholics to be mindful of our immuno-compromised members, who are encouraged to remain masked and who remain dispensed from the obligation to attend mass if necessary.
Pastors and Parish Life Directors are encouraged to create zones for those who will remain masked and prefer social distancing in their churches wherever it is possible to do so. We again encourage all eligible individuals to be vaccinated and boosted for their own well-being and in service of the common good. Please see https://cdlex.org/diocese-of-lexington-epidemic-response/ for the complete guidance related to the Mass and other Liturgical Celebrations).
In addition, the use of masks will be optional for those at gatherings and meetings that take place on parish grounds (see https://cdlex.org/diocese-of-lexington-epidemic-response/ for the complete guidance related to gatherings and meetings).
This relaxation of restrictions does not indicate the end of the pandemic. We will continue to be attentive to all developments of the virus and its spread and will act accordingly. Let us continue to pray for those who have lost lives, lost loved ones, and for our health care workers who have sacrificed so much for our well-being. May God grant us health and healing.
Fr. John Moriarty, in consultation with the Parish Staff, has approved the following changes that follow from the lifting of the diocesan masking mandate:
