All priests of the diocese will be on retreat this week, from Monday, Oct. 7, to Friday, Oct. 11. We will be at St. Meinrad Monastery in Indiana. This is a very important time for us, as when we normally meet, it is for a few hours and is very business oriented. On retreat we get to pray together and spend time catching up with one another. 
    
Please pray for us while we are away.
    
There will not be Mass at Mother of God this week, except for Monday, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. The parish staff will be available for any business issues, and they can contact me if there is an emergency situation.
