O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope.  We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick.

At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus’ pain, with steadfast faith.  You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need.

We are certain that you will provide, so that, as you did at Cana of Galilee, joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial.

Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the Father’s will and to do what Jesus tells us:

He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us, through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen.

We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God.

Do not despise our pleas – we who are put to the test – and deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.
Amen.

Shower us with the peace Jesus promised to his disciples, and make us steady pillars for those around us. In this time of uncertainty and pandemic, wake us up to the reminder that we are never alone. Strengthen our resolve to lean on your word and be guided by your enduring love and Spirit..."

Thursday afternoon (September 24), the Winnebago County Health Department issued an update detailing the critical rate of spread of COVID in our community right now. Currently, the Oshkosh- Neenah area is #1 in the country where cases are rising the fastest. We want to urge you to use caution and good judgment when leaving home in the coming days, including coming to Mass.

Bishop’s recent decree reminded us that individuals who “in their well-formed consciences believe that going into public places – including Sunday worship at Mass – would place their health or the health of their loved ones in serious jeopardy” are not bound by the obligation to attend Sunday Mass. That may apply to you or your family at this time.

While we will have our regular Masses this weekend, please use good judgment in deciding whether to come. Please err on the side of safety.
