Happy Sunday! This week’s bulletin: www.flipsnack.com/sjvhouston/bulletin-sunday-april-18-2021/full-view.html
This weekend we celebrate the 3rd Sunday of Easter. Please practice all health and safety protocols while inside the Church:
- Wash our hands frequently
- Wear your face mask inside
- Observe social distancing (6 FT between non household members)
** When receiving Holy Communion, Cardinal DiNardo asks that we receive in the hand. Parishioners who are in "at risk" groups and those concerned about their health and safety should refrain from attending Mass and are encouraged to pray the Liturgy of Word and make a Spiritual Communion: www.flipsnack.com/sjvhouston/liturgy-of-the-word-3rd_sunday-easter-b-2021/full-view.html
Those who are sick should not attend Mass until recovered. Parishioners concerned about attending Sunday Masses are welcome to join us for daily Mass, Monday - Friday, 9:00 am and Tuesday and Thursday, 7:00 pm. The Adoration Chapel is open is 24/7. There is no offertory collection or procession, parishioners are asked to make their stewardship offerings electronically, by mail or drop their offerings in the baskets at the doors of the church or bring them to the church offices during the week. To donate online, please click here www.stjohnvianney.org/give/donate/ Keep social distance, not spiritual distance!
