Greetings of Peace.

With the beginning of the new year, we usher in a new liturgical schedule. I would like
to point out some changes that may be rather subtle. First, the Wednesday evening
5:15pm Mass, up until now in Spanish, will now be in English. The Latino community
will continue to celebrate Mass in Spanish at noon on Sundays in the first floor church.
Second, the Monday through Friday mid-day confession schedule will now be from
10:30am to 1:30pm. The remainder of the confession schedule will remain the same.
Third, we are adding a 7pm Mass on Sunday night. On Sunday nights only, the Shrine
will now be open until 8pm.

Other changes are more significant and may impact more people. We are eliminating the
4:15pm Mass on Saturday, and changing several Mass times mid-day on Sunday. Please
help us to communicate these changes. Thank you for your cooperation and we
apologize for any inconvenience that these changes cause. All schedule changes are
effective on January 2, 2019.

We had great turnouts for Mass on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We friars thank
everyone who made the celebrations possible.
