Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love you above all things, and I long for you in my soul. Since I cannot now receive you Sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though you have already come, I embrace you and unite myself entirely to you; never permit me to be separated from you.
COVID-19: At Mass – Practice physical distancing and wear a cloth face covering; Holy Communion may be received either on the hand or tongue; no congregational singing; you are still dispensed from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass and those who are high-risk or care for high-risk persons may consider taking advantage of the dispensation. Outside of Mass: parish groups may meet but must observe physical distancing and cloth face coverings are recommended. If you are unsure whether or not a given parish activity is possible at this time, please discuss with Fr. Kraemer.
New Deacon!
Mr. Jonathan Brewer from Karlsruhe will be ordained a deacon by Bishop Folda in Fargo on Saturday, October 31. He will be assisting at Mass as a deacon preaching for the first time in our parishes on the weekend of November 7-8. We will have a parish meal at a later date to celebrate our new deacon.
Adding Sunday Mass:
Beginning October 25 we will have a 2nd Sunday Mass in Velva at 5pm. Our 10:30am Sunday Mass normally exceeds the 50 person maximum recommeded for groups while in the 'Orange' or 'high risk' designation for transmission of Covid-19. This second Mass at 5pm will allow us to spread ourselves out more. We will continue this 2nd Mass as long as seems necessary or possible.
