Dear Friends,
Fr. Schwab's surgery for his broken hip went very well on Monday. He has spent the week in hospital and will now move to a rehab care center. He appreciates all your prayers and support.
It was mentioned earlier that Fr. Charles Holden will be celebrating Mass this weekend, but it turns out he is not yet ready to join us. Fr. Jack Mosbrucker will be our presider this weekend.
******************
Masks Recommended: Due to accelerating spread of COVID-19, Oregon Health Authority and Multnomah County officials have “strongly recommended” that everyone wear masks when indoors. The recommendation applies to anyone 5 and older, whether or not they’ve been vaccinated. When you come to church, masks are strongly recommended.
******************
Construction Note: Al power will be shut down on the church campus Mon - Thurs, Aug. 2 - 5. The office will be closed and Leif will be woking from home. Kathryn will be on vacation. Calls will be routed to Leif's cell. Thanks for your patience.
