MASS INTENTIONS:
Offering a Mass for a dearly departed one or for a special intention for a friend or family member is a wonderful gift. Masses can bring comfort for those physically or emotionally ill and in need of healing and prayers. Masses are also a thoughtful gift to celebrate a birthday or special milestone. Contact the Parish Officewe’d be most happy to assist you with your request.

ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE HYDE AND WELDON AMENDMENTS:
The United States Congress is in the process of advancing the appropriations bill, which, in its current form, excludes both the Hyde and Weldon Amendments. If passed, this would result in elective abortions funded by taxpayers, a legal requirement that health care providers perform and refer for abortion, and a stipulation that employers and insurers must cover and pay for abortions. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is asking all people of good will to sign a petition NO LATER THAN MONDAY, JULY 26, 2021, urging Congress to keep these two historically bipartisan provisions in place. To sign the USCCB “NO TAXPAYER ABORTION” petition, go to https://dioceseofcheyenne.org/ legislative-liaison-and-catholic-social-teaching

For the third consecutive year, the Knights of Columbus Father Doudican Council 16510 is proud to announce the award of two $500 scholarships to Holy Family seniors Victoria Trefren and Xavier Jirak.

Amen.

CHRISTINA THE ASTONISHING
Saturday, July 24, 2021 Born at Brusthem, Belgium, Christina had a seizure at age 21 that was thought to have killed her. At the Mass being said for her, she suddenly flew to the top of the church, later saying she had been to hell, purgatory and heaven, and was allowed to return to earth to pray for suffering souls. St. Christina, patron saint of psychiatrists, psychologists and those suffering mental illness, pray for us!


CHH CHH CHHAANGES!
As we head toward our post-pandemic normal, please notice the physical changes in our church. The door extensions are being shingled and should be complete this week. In the near future, re-staining efforts will begin. Once started expect 3-4 weeks for completion. The continuous improvement of our church is an outward sign of our stewardship.
