LETTER FROM THE PASTOR

Dear Parishioners and Friends,

After some prayerful reflection, and in consultation with the other Fathers, the Parish Advisory Board and several parishioners, we have decided that effective immediately and until further notice, we here at St. Louis will be distributing the Eucharist in the hand only.  There are several reasons for this decision:  the recent spiking of the covid virus and other viruses, older clergy, aging congregation, and of course, in accord with archdiocesan liturgical practice that the normal way of reception of the Eucharist at Mass in the Roman Rite is standing and in the hand.  We wish to ensure the safety of all, and we judge this is the better way going forward.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Enjoy this most beautiful fall weather and God Bless.

Fr. Joe Hurtuk, SM
