Welcome to St. John - Sacred Heart Parish

A Message From Father Mike

Beginning the weekend of  Oct. 10 and 11, Bishop David L. Ricken has reinstated the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass in the diocese until further notice.  We will continue to celebrate the Mass every weekend and weekday in the Tri-Parish for those who are able to attend and are willing to strictly follow the proper health protocols  in place at our Tri-Parish churches.  During this time of increased infection, our Tri-Parish will be even more vigilant about following diocesan guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID 19 and allow as many people as is safe to come to Mass without fear of infection per social distancing.  The wearing of masks is mandatory at Masses. 
Please see Bishop Ricken's Letter and Decree.

Masses are also available at 87.9 FM Stockbridge, 87.7 FM Sherwood and 91.7 FM Hilbert, in each church site parking lot.  The Eucharist will be brought out to those listening on the radio in the
parking lot. The radio Mass is a safe option for those who arrive after Mass attendance capacity is met or for those currently uncomfortable going indoors. 

Currently Calumet County is limiting gatherings to 50 people. The Governor's Emergency Order #1 requires the wearing of face coverings now in effect for Mass attendees including weddings and funerals.  Parishes in the diocese will continue to follow the Safety Precautions as follows:
All will enter through a single entrance
You will use hand sanitizer, receive a mask if you don't have one, and have your temperature taken
(a no--touch thermometer will be used)

Pews, which have been sanitized before and after each Mass, will be sectioned for social distancing
to show where you can/cannot be seated; liturgical Mass and music books are removed from pews 
No choir  -  only a cantor with or without a musician
Only a priest will consume the Blood of Christ
Only a priest or deacon will distribute Communion using hand sanitizer; ushers will assist with flow
Bulletins will be available as you leave church

How to Receive Communion
Leave your mask on as you approach the priest
Receive the Eucharist in you hand
Step to the side in the direction of the flow 
Take your mask down on one side and consume the Eucharist
Put your mask back on as you return to your pew

What Will Not Be Different at Mass
We will hear all of the readings like always; we will pray for each other; we will participate in all the
Eucharist prayers and we will receive Jesus in the Eucharist
