Dear Friends of St. Mary,
 
June is the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and I hope that your new month is off to a great start. We commend our special prayers for an end to the current pandemic and for peace in our nation during this difficult time to the Lord's Sacred Heart. I hope that this message finds you in good health and enjoying the summer.
 
The Archbishop of Denver and the Governor of Colorado have changed some of the guidelines with regard to how we deal with the pandemic. So, we are slowly making changes here at Saint Mary with regard to our liturgical schedule.
 
We will continue to have the outside parking lot Mass on Sunday mornings at 10 AM. I will continue to record the Sunday Mass and send it to you via Flocknote/YouTube. We continue to have confessions, baptisms, and weddings by appointment for our parishioners. We have adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in the church on Monday from 8 AM to 12 noon. The church, parish offices, and school offices are open Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 4 PM. We will try to begin with some weekday Masses in the church and follow the new restrictions. Weekday Mass in the church will be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 9:30 AM, and we can accommodate 50 people per Mass.This will begin on June 9, 2020, and the church will open at 9 AM to begin seating. Please enter the church by way of the south doors, the main lobby. This will be on a first-come-first-serve basis for the first 50 people who arrive. You will need to wear a mask and practice social distancing. Communion will be distributed at the end of the Mass.
 
Thank you for your patience and cooperation with all of these details. I always tell people that we have the best parishioners in the whole world! I appreciate your support. My greatest concern is your spiritual life and your good health.
 
Have a wonderful week. You can count on my prayers! God bless you.
 
Father Jim Goggins

Dear Friends of St. Mary,
 
Greetings from the parish! I hope this message finds all of you doing well and in good health. We are in the final days of May when we honor Mary, the Mother of God. We continue to ask her powerful prayers for an end to COVID-19 and for a peaceful transition for all of us as we return to some sense of normalcy.
 
Just a reminder that we will have the 10 AM Mass this Pentecost Sunday outside on the east parking lot of our campus. In addition, I will record the Pentecost Mass on Saturday and send it to you via Flocknote. Finally, we will have another outdoor Mass on Saturday for the RCIA group receiving the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. Please pray for them.
 
Congratulations to one of our parishioners, Scott Boken, who will receive the Ministry of Acolyte from Archbishop Samuel Aquila this Saturday. Scott is preparing to become a permanent deacon, and this is an important step in his journey. May God bless him.
 
Thank you for your ongoing patience and cooperation during this time of pandemic. We are waiting for more information with regard to the future of Masses and public gatherings here at Saint Mary. I will keep you informed.
 
We have the Father's Day cards and envelopes in the parish office and in the church lobby. Father's Day is just around the corner, and I will place those envelopes on the altar for the Father's Day Masses.
 
Have a great weekend. Happy Pentecost! May God the Holy Spirit shower you with His blessings. My prayers are with you.
 
Father Jim Goggins
