Parishioners we have many prayer shawls - if you are visiting a sick or homebound person, please take a prayer shawl to them. Thank you!
Altar Flower Dedication Worship in our church is an experience of beauty. The flowers in the sanctuary are an important and beautiful symbol of what we offer to God in our worship. Every member of the parish is invited to contribute to the beauty of our worship by giving the altar flowers on a particular Sunday in memory, thanksgiving or celebration for people or events that are important to that donor. There will be one dedication per Weekend. The cost for the flowers is $65 or $100. If you would like to make such a gift, please contact Angie O'Neill at 382-2504. Thank you in advance for your generosity and for contribution to the beauty of our worship.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN HOLY MASS
DO
Fast one hour before Mass Show up at least a few minutes early and try coming as close to the altar possible. Cross yourself with Holy Water on entering and leaving the church. Genuflect toward the altar and Tabernacle when enter ing and leaving pews or bow your head if unable to genuflect. Put cell phones on silent/airplane mode. Remove hats. Gentlemen offer your seat to any lady who is standing. Sit in middle of pews leaving end seats open for those who arrive after you. Sit quietly while in church. Dress modestly and appropriately. Prepare your offering before Mass. Respect the worship. Come to the altar during Communion. If you are Catholic, bow before receiving Holy Communion. If not Catholic or in a state of grace, bow with hands crossed to receive a blessing. Pray after Mass or sit quietly in the Chapel if you can. Leave quietly.
DO NOT
Use cell phones. Never chew gum in Church! Read THIS bulletin during Mass. Bring food and drink into Church. Receive from the Chalice if you are sick. Leave early BEFORE the Procession has ended.
From Father Robert’s Desk - August 1, 2019 My Dear Friends in Christ; You will notice something different in this month’s packet of Sunday offering envelopes. After careful comparison, we have chosen a new offering envelope program with Our Sunday Visi-tor of Huntington, Indiana. This name may sound familiar as it is a publisher of many Catholic periodicals, books and pam-phlets. This program offers us a better means of address corrections, new parishioner start-up, and communication with our office computer programs. While you will notice few changes on the envelopes themselves, I hope you will find them more colorful and appreciative of your sacrifice. Your parishioner number will remain the same as will our col-lection schedule. As always, we do offer an on-line alternative for making your contributions . Thank you for your continued support of Church of the Nativity. May God Bless you always.
