Despite the info on the cmri.org site, Fr. Geckle has confirmed that we still have one more Sunday mass at 1:30. This Sunday, Dec. 16th, will be the last early afternoon mass.
Starting Sunday, Dec. 23rd, our schedule will change to 4:30 pm, with confessions at 4:00 pm.
Meanwhile, enjoy the jousting knights of the Wells Cathedral Clock, built when England was Catholic.
Due to expected treacherous road conditions because of Winter Storm Diego, Fr. Geckle will not be traveling his mission route this weekend.
He reminded us at Mass this past Sunday that tomorrow is not only a First Friday but also the vigil of the Immaculate Conception, which is a day of fast and complete abstinence. Although we will be unable to have Mass, it is still a holy day of obligation and we must refrain from unnecessary servile work.
On Sunday Fr. Borja clarified for us that Fr. Geckle will say three Masses on All Souls Day: one at 7 am, one at 7:30 am, and one at 11 am.
Father also asked for prayers for Bob Coffey, a parishioner who is hospitalized for heart surgery. He came through the surgery fine this morning but still needs prayers.
Below are some pictures from Christ the King Sunday. The altar flowers were especially lovely.
We are excited to announce that Fr. Geckle will say three masses for us during this week in addition to our regularly scheduled Sunday mass. So spread the word to all your northeast Oklahoma, northwest Arkansas, southwest Missouri, and southeast Kansas friends that they can come to Chelsea, OK, for the traditional Latin Mass on Thursday and Friday this coming week.
The schedule for next week is:
Thursday, Nov. 1, All Saints Day, at 5:30 pm (All Saints Day is a holy day of obligation.)
Friday, Nov. 2, All Souls Day, at 7:00 am and at 11 am.
Sunday, Nov. 4, at 1:30 pm, as usual.
