FROM
FATHER JIM —
In
order that we might have more respect and decorum in the celebration of the
Sacrifice of the Mass, please help me with the following:
No gum at Mass; shorts must be baggy, knee-length; if worn, no bare
shoulders for girls and women.
Please do not allow your children to run around during Mass and please
no eating of solid foods in the Church.
Thank you.

Para
poder celebrar la Santa Misa con más respeto y decoro, necesita Usted
ayudarme con lo siguiente:
Se prohibe masticar chicle en la iglesia, los pantalones cortos de
mujer deben llegar a las rodillas, las blusas o vestidos no deben de ser
destapados.
No permitan que sus niños corran por la iglesia y definitivamente no
traiga comida solida para sus niños.
Muchas Gracias!

Summer
is upon us and many will be traveling. Please do not forget your
obligations to St. Margaret. Double up or triple up the next time you
are at Mass when you return from your vacation. You have done so well
this year by increasing your tithing. Let's try to think 5% of our
weekly salary to St. Margaret's even when we're on vacation. Have a
wonderful summer!!

Ya es verano. Muchos estarán en vacaciones. Por favor, no se les
olvide la colecta de los domingos. Hay que doblar su colecta cuando estén
afuera del pueblo. Se han hecho muy generosos este año pasado. Pensemonos
donar 5% de nuestro salario Semanal a Santa Margarita; aún cuando estén
de vacaciones. Que la pasen bien bonito en este verano!!

MASS ETIQUETTE — There are many reasons for being late for Mass that are quite
legitimate. However, arriving
after the Bishop/Priest/Deacon have began the Sermon (Homily), is not the
time to be looking for a seat in the main body of the Church. This is too much of a distraction for the homilist and the
congregation; therefore, I have asked the Ushers to seat people in the Cry
Room, if they entered once the homily began. Once the homily is finished, you may find a seat in the main body
of the Church.
