Rev. Oliver Mohan, O.M.I. August 17, 2016 - 7:30 p.m. last Divine MercyMass.

August 19, 2016 - 8:30 a.m. last Mass at

St. Bernard of Clairvaux.

Father Oliver has served in the Phoenix Diocese for

22 years. It has been an honor to have him here at

St. Bernard’s for fourteen years, during which time he

established the Divine Mercy Mass and healing

devotion on Wednesday nights. He also led the Friday

morning Prayer Group.

RECONCILIATION TIME CHANGE

St. Bernard of Clairvaux Confessions will be on Saturdays from 4:00 p.m. until

4:30 p.m. beginning August 20, 2016.

NEW ADORATION CHAPEL HOURS

Monday thru Thursday 7am to 9:00pm Friday 7am to 12:00pm Saturday 1pm to 6:00pm Sunday 7am to 12:30pm

The reasons for the changes are:

the individual that was sleeping in the chapel has returned; the person was offered assistance from the parish and help was refused; the police were informed and the individual also refused their offer to help; several parishioners in the chapel were approached by this person request-ing money from them.

We are concerned for the safety of all our parishioners and those who come to adoration.

Thank you for your understanding.

PLEASE NOTE: As of August 24, 2016 Mass Intentions that were scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at the

Divine Mercy Mass on Wednesday evenings will now be transferred and prayed for at the 8:30 Mass on Wednesday mornings.

THE OPEN DOOR From the Core Community of ANDRE HOUSE

Andre House is in immediate need of an economy car, sedan, minivan or SUV. If you don’t think your vehicle is “good enough” consider the following: The average Andre House vehicle is 15 years old, has 92,000 miles and a lot of character scratches and dents.

Any running vehicle below those averages improves our fleet!

Thank you. Please email Fr. Tom Doyle: tdoyle@andrehouse.org-255-0580 ext. 301
