Bulletin - March 29th, 2020
Per the direction of the Archdiocese of Chicago, all public celebration of Mass is suspended until further notice.

• The church building is closed until further notice.
• St. Peter's Rabbit Patch basket donations can be dropped off outside the front door of the church. Contact Christine with questions at ccollins@ourladyofthewoods.org.
• Because of the “shelter in place” order by the Governor, the Archdiocese has informed us that no funerals, weddings, or baptisms can occur. Please know that we will do all we can to reach out as we are able. If a loved one passes we will minister as we are allowed and then schedule a later Memorial Mass with the family.
• We received information this week that all Holy Week and Easter Masses will not be public.
• Religious Education classes are cancelled for the rest of the school year. Activities involving children (such as athletics and youth ministry) are postponed until further notice. Activity leaders will keep you informed when they are restarted.
• The public recitation of the Stations of the Cross is suspended and the Parish Fish Fry that was scheduled for Friday, April 3 is cancelled.
• All non-essential meetings are postponed until after this crisis. Please check with your parish contact for more information.
• First Holy Communion is still scheduled for April 26th and May 3rd. Look for updates from the Religious Education Program.
