Happy Snow Weekend! Enjoy the wonderful wintry weather, and please be safe. The Adoration Chapel will close tomorrow, February 5th at 12:00 Noon. The Saturday and Sunday Mass and Confession schedule will continue. We will have First Friday Mass at 8:30 am, with confessions at 9:00 am. The evening Mass and confessions are cancelled. . The new parishioner welcome which was going to be held on Saturday February 6th has been postponed until February 27th at 6:00 pm. The Walter Reed gift collection has been postponed until next weekend. Please drop your donations off on Saturday and Sunday, February 13 and 14, in the parish hall. If there are any further cancelations, they will be posted here. All baptized Catholics are obliged to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation. However, there are particular circumstances or conditions that may excuse a Catholic from this obligation. If you are ill, homebound, or if there are severe weather conditions that make attending Mass dangerous to your safety or that of others, you are excused from the obligation. In such cases, if you are unable to attend Mass, the Church recommends making a spiritual Communion and spending some time in prayer. Please consider signing up for Faith Direct at www.faithdirect.net. Can you believe it cost us over $5,000 for snow removal the last big storm in December. Thank you for your continued support of our parish! |

St. Veronica Catholic Church is now participating in the Faith Direct program. Faith Direct is a planned electronic giving program principled in the stewardship model that with sacrificial giving, we place God first and ourselves second. Faith Direct is a vehicle in which we can carefully consider our sacrificial giving and decide how we can consistently give back to God from the treasures He gives to each of us. Stewardship is NOT fundraising. The beauty of stewardship is that when a parish fully embraces the spirituality of giving back to God a portion of the gifts He gives to each of us. Of course we still need to give but we need to plan to give from our first fruits, not from what is left over in our wallets at the end of the week. Please prayerfully consider your participation in the Faith Direct program.
